As an echo to the exhibition "Folklore", the Mucem and the GMEM propose two streaming events exploring the relationship between "Tradition and Creation". 

By binary ease and ignorance, traditional music is too quickly rejected outside of today's musical creation. The institutions, the broadcasters and the public often assimilate them to a dead and obsolete language, frozen in the repetition of the Same. Everything happens as if their original link with the richness of popular and regional cultures, was paid in return to their assignment, by a forced devitalization.
It is not to know the creative energy that Erwan Keravec, Miquèu Montanaro or Jean-François Vrod insufflate. Their reappropriation of forms - the tale, the vigil, the bagadoù... - and the reconsideration of the lutheries - bagpipes, biniou, bombard, trélombarde, galoubet tambourin... - participate in a reconsideration of the historical link and of the future.
In complicit affinity with the cultural project of the MUCEM, these events invite to discover at the crossroads of performance, orality and research, the persistent vitality of traditional music.

RADIO CONCERT
Tradition / Creation " Here and after "  

Violin making, music writing, improvisation and interpretation are all points of encounter between tradition and creation. Drawing on their practices and in a performative form, musicians, musicologists and composers question the historical relationship between the ancient and the modern, between heritage and novelty. A way to approach the notions of authenticity and identity through the dynamics of experience. 

These exchanges will be punctuated by musical excerpts from "Ici et d'après". For several years, Miquèu Montanaro - a galoubet tambourine player - and Christian Sebille - an electroacoustic composer and performer - have shared the specificities of their instruments and their compositional methods, thus developing a repertoire and a reflection on the issues raised by the relationship between creation and tradition. Athénor, National Center of Musical Creation, invested for a long time by this question, proposed to add to the duo Jean-François Vrod, violinist and storyteller. From these encounters, a body of experiences and exchanges is born, which leads the trio to enrich their compositions with new sounds. An endless trail of before, elsewhere, here and after ...
