Passionate about travel, Saint-Sa͡ns was strongly influenced by the cultural diversity he encountered in North Africa. Zahia Ziouani, as one immersed in these twin cultures herself, is able to shed new light on the composer's travel-inspired works by reflecting them through the prism of traditional Algerian music, ranging from Ahmed El Alaoui to Idir and performed in the company of Rachid Brahim-Djelloul.
