Emmanuel Bardon

Emmanuel Bardon is a French musician and cultural bridge-builder specializing in historical Mediterranean and Middle Eastern musical traditions. As a multi-instrumentalist (oud, saz, percussion) and artistic director, he crafts immersive projects exploring shared heritage across civilizations – from medieval Occitan troubadour songs to Armenian liturgical music and Ottoman-era soundscapes. His discography, including collaborations like *Ararat* (French-Armenian fusion) and *Aasheyani* (Ottoman-inspired improvisations), reflects a passion for reviving forgotten dialogues between cultures. Bardon often works with ensembles like L’Achéron and Dialogos, blending scholarly rigor with emotional resonance in concept albums tied to specific historical moments or cities (like *Samâ-ï*’s tribute to pre-war Aleppo). His work feels like a time-traveling sonic peace treaty.
