About
Naïssam Jalal is a flutist, singer and composer born in Paris to a Franco Syrian background, with a musical compass that points well beyond any single tradition. She studied Arabic classical music in Cairo, where she played with figures like Abdo Dagher and Fathy Salama. Back in Paris she kept branching out, working through jazz, tango and afrobeat and sharing stages and projects with artists such as Fatoumata Diawara, Cheick Tidiane Seck and Hamid Drake. Her album Landscapes of Eternity takes her music toward northern India. She spent months travelling through sacred landscapes there and studied with the bansuri master Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. The record has five contemplative pieces, each built on a raga tied to a particular time of day, and it sets Indian classical music beside contemporary jazz using sarod, tabla, tanpura, piano and drums.
