Transes Européennes was a minuscule French label established in the mid-1990s by percussionist Pablo Cueco, aimed at releasing “the works of artists who include in their creative approach the existence of other cultures”. They were short-lived and issued no more, I think, than 30 recordings, most of them, apparently, devoted to contemporary jazz-world music crossover. A few releases however have been of interest to me, the two with music by the Greek-French Georges Aperghis, a pioneer of “théâtre musical” in the 1970s and after, those of percussionist Jean-Pierre Drouet (himself early on associated with Aperghis and music-theatre), and a few more:
