Book

Driven by his passion for modal music, musician Ibantuta traveled across 12 countries along the ancient Silk Roads, collaborating with nearly 40 musicians playing traditional string instruments. The Oud serves as the traveler’s guiding thread, helping him navigate the labyrinth of sonic and visual landscapes of China, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

This global project also includes a series of music videos capturing the beauty of the places where this music came to life, as well as short films revealing the cultural richness and contemporary relevance of these Eastern legacies.

Today, Ibantuta offers an immersive and captivating solo film-concert, blending the evocative power of his Oud with striking visual projections filmed during his journey. More than just a concert, it is a sensory and emotional experience — a true bridge between tradition and modernity.
