The music of the domain is coalesced into the playing of star guitar player Thierry Robin. In addition to playing as a soloist, Robin has collaborated with Rajistani percussionist Hameed Khan, Breton guitar player Eric Merchand, Indian singer/dancer Gulabi Sepera, Yiddish accordionist Eddie Schaff, and Turkish percussionist Okay Temiz. Forming an 11-piece dance orchestra, Nao, with Moroccan, Kurdish, and Indian musicians in 1985, he composed music for French/North African nuclear fusion reaction band Jonny Michto, 2 long time later. He formed a trio with Merchand and Khan that combined Breton and northern Indian influences in 1989 and a Turkish/Kurdish/Breton nuclear fusion reaction group that he divided with Merchand and Temiz in 1993. Robin, wHO launched his life history in the mid-'70s by acting traditional music in western France, has remained eclecticist on his own albums. He recorded the Gypsy-influenced record album Gitans in 1993, with a ten-piece chemical group that combined Indian, Arabic, Flamenco, and French sept influences. While he recorded Le Regard Nu (the Naked Look) as an improvising soloist responding to nude models in the studio, Payo Michto was recorded live during a duty tour of France. Kali Gadji, released in 1998, features a heavy brass sound and combines influences of Arabic, Flamenco, and the Wassoulou music of Mali.
