Duo WITH Bijan Chemirani
After a decade of creative complicity within Oneira, Kevin Seddiki and Bijan Chemirani now distill their artistic connection into an ethereal duo. Their musical conversation flows naturally after years of shared stage experiences, rooted in a profound connection: Kevin's twenty-year journey studying percussion with the Chemirani family has created a unique musical understanding between them.
What makes their dialogue unique is their mutual crossing of instrumental boundaries - Seddiki moves fluidly between guitar and percussion, while Chemirani masterfully navigates between percussion, saz, and laouto. This versatility creates a rare space where both musicians can seamlessly change roles, enriching their musical conversation with multiple voices and timbres.
Together, they invite us on a borderless musical journey, where Persian traditions converse with Andalusian echoes, where Argentinian folklore meets African rhythms.
In their playing, compositions and improvisations intertwine naturally, creating a subtle dance between structure and freedom.
Their music becomes an intimate dialogue where strings and percussion respond to and embrace each other with elegance. Both meditative and vibrant, their performance takes us on a journey that transcends boundaries, the fruit of a musical complicity forged through years of shared creation.
Duo WITH Matheus Donato
This New Duo presents a unique sonic alchemy where classical guitar and 6-string cavaquinho blend in rare symbiosis. Like a four-hand piano, the two instruments share the musical space, alternating between deep bass lines and crystalline melodies, creating an exceptionally rich palette of timbres and playing techniques.
The two musicians explore the full range of possibilities of their instruments in a repertoire as virtuosic as it is poetic, traveling from Bach to the Beatles, passing through the masters of Brazilian choro. Each piece becomes a playground where the two instruments converse and intertwine, creating textures that are sometimes orchestral, sometimes intimate.
Driven by their complicity, they weave a musical dialogue where composition and improvisation dance freely. A sonic adventure that redraws the contours of chamber music, carrying us well beyond established musical boundaries.

The Sarah Nemtanu & Kevin Seddiki duo represents a fascinating encounter between two musical worlds, where classical virtuosity meets creative freedom. This relatively rare alliance of violin and guitar creates a unique soundscape that transcends traditional genre boundaries.
Sarah Nemtanu, recognized for her brilliant career (Concertmaster of the National Orchestra of France and her numerous acclaimed solo performances) brings her extraordinary musical sensitivity and technical mastery to this intimate chamber music ensemble. Her approach, both sophisticated and adventurous, finds a natural echo in Kevin Seddiki's innovative guitar work and his creativity as an improviser and composer.
In their musical dialogue, classical tradition and creative freedom meet with elegance. Their repertoire, blending refined arrangements and original compositions, transforms and enriches itself through their complicit exchanges.
Duo WITH Sandra rumolino
"Argentine singer Sandra Rumolino, diva of tango, and French guitarist/percussionist Kevin Seddiki offer us their sublime Tres Luceros, an inspired and vibrant poetic and acoustic adventure, connecting sounds and sensibilities from the global South and beyond.
The Latin influences of Buenos Aires are naturally present, from which Sandra draws her musical language and whose South American harmonies and rhythms have greatly influenced Kevin's playing, who regularly shares stages with jazz musicians Dino Saluzzi and Al Di Meola.
Their Italian origin is also a common denominator between the two collaborators. Add to this the Algeria of the concert performer, here composer and arranger of the album, as well as Iran, which shines through in his practice of the zarb (Persian percussion instrument), passed down by the illustrious Chemirani family.
Songs and folklore from South America, jazz, classical music, and Oriental rhythms blend and intertwine in a softly-lit, colorful atmosphere, much like the voice, guitar, and percussion that tenderly accompany each other in an intimate sonic concert where emotion takes precedence."
