Iranians: percussionist Keyvan Chemirani, singer Maryam Chemirani, Hamid Khabbazi on târ, and Bretons: singer Annie Ebrel and flautist Sylvain Barou. Top musicians, but the melodic forms of the Breton traditional songs butt up against rather than integrating with the Iranian music, where the instrumentalists sound much more comfortable.
