Kesbara

Kesbara is the intimate duo of Dida Guigan (voice and riq) and Romain Luder (guitar and voice). Born from a creative urgency in response to the 2023 crisis in Gaza and the wider Middle East, their music offers a soulful, poignant homage to lives lost. Drawing on Cham region classical and popular repertoire alongside contemporary compositions, their songs weave Arabic and French phrases, building fragile cultural bridges. The result is a tender, evocative musical remedy—coriander as metaphor—for a troubled world.
