The Jew's harp pays tribute to the sounds of nature thanks to the incredible variety of tones it proposes. Imitating the sounds of the environment, the leaves touched by the wind, the breath of the mountains, the trill of water that slides along the pebbles of a creek.

The Jew’s harp, universal music instrument often associated with pastoral societies from Asia to India, from America to Europe, is presented under differing guises, but it is without doubt in Rajasthan that its technique is the most virtuoso and the most developed.

In the desert of Rajasthan, the use of the “Morchang”, a small iron Jew’s harp, is one of the specialities of the Manganiyars. The Manganiyars, their talent as singers and players of the old Kamanchiya put aside, all excel in the art of playing the Morchang Jew’s harp, together with the Langas caste, numerous today in Jodhpur.

Under the starry night sky and the light of the full moon, in an incredible setting, the Jew’s harps will create this magical distortion of time.

Close to the Manganiyars and the Langas, another magician and sound poet – the young Wang Li, originally from China, will be at the start of this journey across time and spaces of the ancient nomads.
