"I grew up in the midst of armed conflict and I can still remember the roar of bombs, she says. Therefore, it is important for me to bring people together, to create an environment in which they communicate, seek common ground between different cultures. In this respect, art has priceless opportunities. I am grateful that I am a musician. I believe musicians have a secret mission in the world - to unite people and to create beauty out of diversity", Christiane says. Her interest in various folk traditions appeared only later, but has dominated her daily pursuits ever since. She says it is a journey to her own roots, which are scattered around the world.
