🎙️ A word from the Tikino team:

A collaboration between the Children's Philharmonic and Bayam, Postcards from the Orient offers a colorful and musical journey from North Africa to Asia. Each episode, conceived and illustrated by a different artist, immerses viewers in a city or region, where Jules and his father discover its traditions and musical riches. Highlighting both traditional Eastern music and the works of great classical composers inspired by these lands (Saint-Saëns, Delibes, Rimsky-Korsakov), this educational series fosters a genuine dialogue between cultures.
