“A long career, not only in Portugal but in several other countries, Lisbon born Rão Kyao has gained attention for his strong will of rediscovering Eastern music. Playing saxophone and bamboo flute, he found inspiration in jazz and then in indian, arabian and chinese music searching the lost link of traditional portuguese music and the Orient.

The portuguese traditional popular city music is a strong reference of Kyao’s taste and background. Since the XIX century, fado shows an amalgamation of influences, such as moorish and arabic. That’s why 1983 is a referential year. Rão Kyao released “Fado Bailado” that year, which was the first platinum given to a portuguese record. With the help of António Chaínho, master of portuguese guitar, he covered some of the most important fado songs, plenty of them popularised by diva Amália Rodrigues. The voice was then translated to a saxophone.		”

“Hari Prasad Chaurasia is one of the most popular contemporary flautists. The simple bamboo flute, transformed by the late Pannalal Ghosh into an important instrument for interpreting the finer nuances of Indian classical music, has indeed found a guardian angel in Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Hari Prasad Chaurasia has not only nurtured Panna Babu's legacy but with his natural talent for music and diligent practice, combined with his highly innovative approach, has made the flute almost indispensable for a concert of Indian classical music, anywhere in the world.”

“Called by some kawkab al-sharq (star of the East) and by others 'empress of Arab tunes,' Oum Kalthoum, with a voice powerful and clear, can still be heard daily on radio stations in the multitudes of coffee shops and taxis all over the Arab world. Even though she died over two decades ago, her love lyrics, national odes and religious chants continue to affect millions of people. Her audience, as if on cue, hums along or cries in despair in reaction to her range of pitch, filled with nostalgia and yearning, touching the very Arab soul.”
