It is the meeting of three musicians of the Armorican tip sharing their compositions and their ways of apprehending the sound, with those of three musicians coming from the classical Indian tradition. The ties naturally weave between our modal musics, and thus springs a common language, which mocks well the clichés and slogans of the time, whether they are identity or universalist. Initiated by Ronan Pellen, this meeting is a reflection of his trajectory as a traveling musician, from the Celtic Procession of Jacques Pellen to the Indian Raga tradition transmitted by his master of sarangi Pandit Santosh Mishra. The pieces gathered here are mainly from the repertoire of Sukhdev, Jacques and Ronan, with a loan from Joni Mitchell. Ganga is the Ganges which borders the city of Varanasi, the sacred Indian city from which this music is inspired, the city where Sukhdev Mishra lives and to which he dedicates the title Homage to Kashi. The musicians gathered together often played together in various formations: Sylvain Barou and Ronan were invited to the Celtic Procession and created Istan Trio. The tablot Prabhu Edouard plays with Jacques and Sylvain in Thali Gang and with Sylvain in Apsara; Sukhdev Mishra, a talented violinist from Varanasi, performs regularly with Prabhu in classical Indian music. As for Satish Krishnamurthy, percussionist from Mumbai, he comes regularly to Europe where he transmits his art of mridangam, ghatam and kanjira.
