Meaning “ecumene”, 'Oikoumene' refers to an ancient Greek notion, designating the inhabited or "civilized" sections of our planet, in other words those where mankind has left its mark. It's within this framework that THEODOR BASTARD brought together musicians of Russian, Zulu, Indian, British, and French-African traditions and an impressive array of natural instruments from across the world to create this album. Originally released in 2012, it is now finally reissued!
