About me:
The uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes) discovered Raphaël in 1989 after hearing a broadcast of Liam O Flynn and Donal Lunny's concert at the Dranouter Folkfestival 1988. A few years later Raphaël became involved in jam sessions with musicians who later formed the band Shantalla. He also learned a lot from Tommy Keenan (Paddy's brother). In 1991 he started a duo called Cú Chullainn (Irish music), together with Sacha Van Loo. Later on the duo Cú Chullainn became the trio Crónán with Greet Garriau (Fluxus) as a third musician. In these bands Raphaël played the uilleann pipes as well as whistles, kantele (Finnish harp), jews harps, kaval (bulgarian flute) and sälgeflöt (swedish overtone flute). At the same time Raphaël discovered the Siberian 'throat singing' vocal styles from Tuva and the Khakass zither chatkhan.

In august 1998, he taught a 'throat singing workshop' at the Gooik Folk Music course. From then on, Crónán became the new sextet Keukkojoen. This band is specialised in many different vocal traditions from Europe and beyond. From 2001, he became one of the gaiteros in A Banda, and later on in A Contrabanda. In 2003 he replaced Jowan Merckx in some concerts with the project Profielen/Perfiles with Wannes Van De Velde, Amparo Cortes and Ialma.

Since 2004 he has been experimenting with vocal techniques from Sardinia (hopefully resulting in a new band called Tenore e Cuncordu de Marinis Santu Seminis TeCuMaSaS), and in 2006 with Chinese woodwind instruments Bawu and Hulusi. He also took up and promotes the Muchosa, one of the old style Belgian bagpipes with some microtonal possibilities which is being revived. OSUNA is a flexible project depending on the demand or personal feelings, ranging from a duo project to a quintet performing meditative listening or dance music based on tradititional vocal and instrumental music styles and improvisation.

Recently the "OSuna project" grew into a marriage between Anatolian and Siberian music, exploring the rich harmonies and dialogues between saz, tanbur and chatkhan, with surprising trips ranging from Tuvinian overtone singing, vocals from the "Mediterranean Zone", Nordic cattle calls, sean-nós songs, medieval ballads.... with sublte accompaniment of the persian drum tombak and double bass
