Kuné - Universal Echoes
KUNÉ is an eleven-piece collective made up of ten immigrant musicians from all over the world and one metis-Canadian.
Created at the Royal Conservatory of Music in 2016 in Toronto, KUNE’s artistic practice captures and recreates the experience of living in the world's most diverse city. The musicians come from places like Iraq, Cuba, Peru, Burkina-Faso and China. The instruments they play are not often played together: the Iranian Tar and the Peruvian Cajon, the West African Ngoni and the Chinese Dizi flute.
It is a space in which to remember our roots while being transformed by our differences. Together KUNE members compose, arrange and perform music that honors cultural roots and creates connections through curiosity, experimentation and dialogue. “Universal Echoes” explores the four elements of earth and Mother Nature through music. The compositions were created through the collaborative efforts of Kuné’s members and feature music inspired by the group members’ cultural experiences.
