A master of the Iranian zarb and Persian percussion, which likes to immerse in jazz as well as in the Mediterranean, Bijan Chemirani combines his science of rhythm with Albanian cellist Redi Hasa - known for his contribution to the revival of traditional music in southern Italy, but also for his work with Maria Mazzotta, Ludovico Einaudi and Robert Plant - and Lebanese pianist Rami Khalif, who masterfully blurs the boundaries between classical and electro on the keys of his piano. Although their paths had already crossed, the real meeting took place on the cusp of the pandemic, in a studio in Puglia, near Lecce, when time seemed about to stand still. In this magnificent location bathed in light, the three virtuosos meet again in autumn 2024 to record L'Antidote, an instrumental repertoire of rare finesse that contrasts the healing power and life-giving breath of music with the poisons of the present day.
