Influences
ZAKARYA loots the most various of musical styles.
From rock, it takes the sound group. From contemporary musics, polyrhythms and un-tonality. From dance music, the direct and popular side. From jazz, the improvisation. From Klezmer or Balkan musics, their melodies. "Musiques concrètes" or electronic, cartoons, circuses, sound effects and minimalism are not forgotten. With all those elements, ZAKARYA makes a stimulating and surprisingly original music. Here, folk arts are coming close to the avant-garde; the composed and the improvised are walking hand in hand; jazz and rock exchange winks. The only rule is to play a personal, rigorous and exhilarating music. Compositions "à tiroir", hidden beats, musical puzzles, culinary recipes as scores, clichés. Each of us is invited to listen to the story in the story, to appreciate the wheeze or to unravel the scripts which are building this repertoire.

ZAKARYA is a French quartet founded in 1999. In 2000, John Zorn, leader of New York's musical avant-garde, discovered the compositions of the unclassified accordionist and band's leader, Yves WEYH and proposed to produce their first CD on his prestigious label TZADIK. Only French band produced by John Zorn, ZAKARYA, released its first album in 2001. In the midst of Tzadik, their name comes close to others like Masada, Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, and Mike Patton...and the CD is available all over the world (USA, Europe, Japan...). Two years later, in 2003, Tzadik produced ZAKARYA's second album, "Something Obvious".
August 2006 : Zakarya releases its third cd produced by Tzadik, " 413 A ", featuring the guitarist Marc RIBOT.
so parsimonious is the sound, so delicate the eye gazing into what it has not seen before. and then, of course, the waiting the hurried footsteps the flung open door the shout, and no more. gone without warning there. gone. no more and though we survive forever, this process will never embrace our knowing never allow us past the membrane to become one with the eternal ache that does not happen.
