Dhafer Youssef Quartet – 2010 – Festival de Jazz de San Javier

With a music rooted in the sufi tradition and other mystical sounds, Dhafer Youssef is a virtuoso of the oud and a great vocalist. Dhafer was born in Tunisia and has been living in Europe for many years. He has successfully fused arabic music with jazz, acomplishing a lyricism and intensity which is difficult to describe in words. In Jazz San Javier he will present his new CD, Abu Nawas Rhapsody, dedicated to the arab poet of persian decent, Abu Nawas. It is an absolutely extraordinary and unique album. He will perform with the same musicians with which he recorded the album, the formidable Armenian pianist Tygran Hamasyan, doble bassist Chris Jennings, and the spectacular drummer Marc Giuliana.
