Robin,Titi Kali Sultana CD

For over thirty years, this restless musician has swum at the confluence of gypsy and Arab cultures. He has surfed the impetuous and majestic poetic wave that flows from the foothills of India through Central Asia down to the banks of the Mediterranean in every direction. On his new album, Kali Sultana L'Ombre du Ghazal, Titi Robin proves as never before that his quest is to develop an intensely personal language, straight from the heart and rooted in his flesh, which hugs the topography and fault-lines of a vast interior landscape. The Kali Sultana (The Black Queen) is an ideal of beauty that every artist pursues. As Titi Robin is one of these men whose thirst for beauty is never sated, he has been chosen to paint it's portrait and invent a story that leads it from the edge of the desert to the feverish heart of the city. In this mainly instrumental project, a voice makes two appearances. Chanting in her vibrant voice, Maria Robin lends an added intensity to the music, which, throughout the album, celebrates the pre-eminence of singing. The story of Kali Sultana thus reflects the visions and aspirations of a musician who, step by step, digs down ever deepest into his desires and his experiences.
