Trilok Gurtu & Arkè

Arkeology
Trilok Gurtu & Arkè String Quartet

Arkeology is the union of two seemingly different worlds: Trilok Gurtu’s extraordinary rhythmic vitality and versatility and the classic string quartet’s sound reinterpreted by Arkè String Quartet. Here two multimillenial musical traditions merge, melting in melodies, polyrhythms and new counterpoints. This project is based on a fascinating linguistic research which has the sole aim of allowing the pure force of the singing and the rhythm to emerge, these being the expressive cores of the Indian and Mediterranean musical traditions. Given ‘Top of the World’ status at Songlines Magazine.
