Kevin Seddiki & Bijan Chemirani
Guitarist Kevin Seddiki of French, Algerian and Italian descent, is the winner of the prestigious European Guitar Award.
Kevin seddiki al di meola biography Refreshing and engaging, the duo have undoubtedly honed their skills and ideas over the years, the resulting music recorded here sounding resplendent and complete. Kevin Seddiki is a truly unique musician. Trained in classical guitar from a very young age, he has brilliantly continued along this demanding path, while also allowing himself to stray from a purely classical route, drawing inspiration from jazz, improvisation and music from across the globe. Kevin has also studied the Zarb, the queen of the Persian drums, with the legendary Chemirani family…. His imagination has led him to create a unique language, like a brilliant tapestry, where threads from across the world mingle with a passion for all forms of improvisation and a perfect blend of space and silence.At ease on stage or in studio with artists such as Al di Meola or Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, this composer and arranger of works for the guitar has an instinctive relationship to stringed instruments. He is also particularly fond of percussive instruments like the zarb, an Iranian drum-shaped wooden chalice and for which his friend Bijan Chemirani has become a reference world-wide.
Bijan is following in the footsteps of his father, Djamchid (teacher and collaborator of Béjart and Peter Brooks) and his brother Keyvan who were already masters in the late 90's when they created the now famous Chemiani Trio (which has played with musicians such as Titi Robin, Omar Sosa, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Ross Daly, Sylvain Luc or Ballaké Sissoko).
Bijan is drawn to eclectic projects and workds with artists like Padovani Tessot-Gay (Noir Desire). He also appears on the latest Sting album.
