The lyrical material spoken and sung by Abdelghani Elmassaoudi includes classical arabic and pre-islamic poems. The field recordings of two journeys to Lebanon and Syria in 2009 and 2010 were part of the concerts and studio sessions.

The music on this record is improvised.

Various artists-Oriental Blues (Network Medien / Membran Media 2013)

With the success of the three anthologies of „Desert Blues“ ("Ambiances du Sahara", "Rêves D'Oasis" "Entre Dunes et Savanes"), “Oriental Blues” mission is to compile music from diverse countries of the Orient. The focus is on ballads and – as unusual the term may seem in this context – on Blues. These songs chosen are of great emotional depth evoking an aura similar to this American music tradition.
From the bazars of Istanbul, the oasis of Tunisia to and the endless mountain-scape near the Caspian Sea, the music of this region incorporates the most beautiful voices and the most delicate arrangements. Network Medien

Foulane Bouhssine - ribeb, violon

Nicolas Dechêne - guitare

Luc Evens - basse

Ahmed Khaili - percussions

Benoît Ruwet - batterie

anSan & Tamount Ifassen
Style : jazz, rock'n'roll and Arabic-Berber music.


This project was born out of the love of an instrument, the ribab, its sound and the marriage with the soprano saxophone. 6 musicians from both sides of the Mediterranean sea decided to meet up and create a new sound, beyond style and traditions, to find a shorter path to heart.
