Intermarium includes many countries, nations, ethnic groups, languages and cultures. In each of them, an important role is played by musicians, Muzikants, who learn from their old local masters to play with their hearing, thus transmitting the continuity of their culture, melodies, rhythms and singing. This is a living and reviving tradition. The musicians serve their community in performing rituals and gather a community to experience ecstasy and oblivion in dancing. Our intention is to reach to these sources of culture and present it to lovers of exotic, original and at the same time deeply rooted in the rhythms of the human heart of music.
