The Badila Ensemble

About Me

TRANS-ORIENTAL SUFI GROOVEThe Badila Ensemble was created by the french percussionist and keen traveller Bastien Lagatta. The Badila Ensemble, a sufi dancer and five musicians of Eastern and Western origins, brings together Indian and Arab-Persian musical traditions, taking us to the heart of the mystical soul. At the confluence of different cultures, the repertoire includes pieces from an early cultural heritage as well as more recent elements: a new mixture of old oriental blend.In february 2005, coming from France, Iran and India, the six artists of the Badila Ensemble travelled to Sana’a, Yemen, to record the "Love songs of the mystic riders" (released worldwide by ARION Music in 2006).Mame Khan Manghaniyar (Rajasthan, India), Ava Farhang, Javid Yahyazadeh and Sardar Mohamadjani (Iran) are among the most worthy trustrees of their generation of an ancestral poetical and spiritual heritage, of sacred nature, based on oral tradition. Bastien Lagatta and Robin Vassy (France) are percussionists, travellers, inspired by what they call the “melody of humanity”. All together, they aim at uniting people and bringing hope...Their music navigates from the roots of Orient to the free space of imagination.Six artists, six traditions, severals languages sung, spoken performed or whispered... and more than 20 instruments played, tied tightly in the veil of the dance.A celebration of festivity, joy and love. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Badila mystical journey!undefined Performance of Badila group
