Samasa music is proud to present Meskach!

Meskach trio, a journey beyond borders, an exploration of European cultures, between Ireland, Bulgaria, Asturias, Holland, Turkey.... close your eyes and open your ears ! Sometimes acoustic and intimate, sometimes experimental with amps and effects, developing a unique identity!

Stella Rodrigues (Lazik, Ebony bridge, Za ucha) on fiddle and main vocal, Joachim Mouflin (Txutxukan, Gosseyn) on bouzouki and electric guitar, and Yves-Marie Berthou (Gypsy burek, Kazut de tyr) on percussion.

Having been able to record over more than nine months in their own professional studio, the trio had the opportunity to explore the songs in their arrangements, choice of instruments, recording techniques, slowly finetuning all tracks until completion.

True to their live sound, the repertoire is partly composed of instrumental traditionals, songs and some of their own compositions.
