| About
Okotécho guides the listener into a sonic world brimming with hope, aspiration, and lyricism found in the exceptional interlude between the Middle East, Arboriginal and the West. Under the artistic direction of composer Katia Makdissi-Warren, Okotécho explores mixed music and musical sounds through its own compositions.
A true hymn to life, the 24 artists of Transcestral express the common perpetual quest for harmony between man and nature, inspired by the music and sacred dances of Sufi and Aboriginal traditions in Canada.
