Ginger Sounds’ founders deeply believe that the future of world music needs to be prepared through awareness and education initiatives for the lay public. They need to be developed through cultural and musical exchanges, in order to discover the richness of these musical aesthetics.

Therefore, we organize different types of socio-cultural and artistic events for the general public, linked to traditional and contemporary dances and music from Europe, Middle East and Africa:

• Dancing: Tarentella and pizzica (Italy) / Sufi Dance (Iran-Afghanistan) / Kathak Dance (North India) / Mystical and popular dance (North Africa), …
• Singing: Chaâbi (Algeria) / Popular and classic songs of Anatolia (Turkey-Azerbaijan) / Classic Arabic songs (Egypt-Lebanon-Tunisia) / Mandinka songs (Burkina Faso-Mali), …
• Instruments: Kora / Kamele n’goni / Tambin / African & Middle East percussions / Saz / Qanun / oud / Italian tambourine / Arabic trumpet / Oriental violin / Mandole / Duduk / Balafon / Cigar-box guitar, …
• Lutherie: Piano / Tambin / Cigar-box guitar / Oriental instruments…
• Vulgarisation of world music and cultures: Discovery workshops / Interactive conferences / Thematic meetings…

Those different events target regional or local authorities and associations, and cultural or artistic institutes.
