This concert - East-West - like Les Routes de l’Esclavage, seems to respond to a very clear ethical and political concern. Savall believes that ancient music can be a tool for peace and not just a symbolic gesture. The concert features representatives from very different cultures, including musicians like David Mayoral, who comes from historical music. Savall highlights the natural dialogue between medieval music and Eastern music due to their shared modal and monodic systems. He reflects on his project initiated in 2017 to help musicians from migrant backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of dialogue, peace, and respect for other cultures through music. He also discusses the historical context of European music and the need to remember the past, particularly regarding the legacy of slavery. Savall expresses that music serves as a powerful means to connect with history and emotions, advocating for a broader understanding of cultural exchanges in music.
