“…it feels like being at the window of a train traveling at just the right speed to immerse yourself in the changing colors of a sonic landscape, which is nothing less than a love letter to life, to music, and to Argentina…”
— Laurent Valero, France Musique

Ninon Valder is a musician with an exceptional and unconventional career, capable of combining worlds while maintaining her integrity and unique perspective. She describes herself as a “wind amazon” or “air shaman,” seeking to create connections between our deepest identities, our lands, and our skies, illuminating those moments when we feel truly alive.
With her flutes, bandoneon, and voice, Ninon Valder expresses her passion for Argentine music and original compositions. In “En mi corazón,” she shares her music through intimate and powerful duets with exceptional collaborators: Kevin Seddiki on guitar (ECM, Al di Meola, Jean-Louis Matinier), Sebastián Cordero on guitar (Daniele Sepe, Liat Cohen, Veronica Kadlubkiewicz), Carine Bonnefoy on piano (Vince Mendoza, Latin Grammy Award, Prix Sacem, Djangodor), and the legendary Raúl Barboza on accordion (a cornerstone of Argentine music and chamamé).
Ninon tells us about a shared life along the path of the free world. In her voice, we hear echoes of Mercedes Sosa; in her bandoneon, the influence of Dino Saluzzi; and through her flute, a journey beyond all borders.
We’ve seen her perform in a duo with Colacho Brizuela (historic guitarist, arranger, and musical director for Mercedes Sosa) in the album Cuscaias (2013 – Acqua Record) and as the director of the instrumental trio Las Famatinas in live performances and on the album Así seguimos andando (2020 – Les Belles Écouteuses).
