Abozekry, Mohammed: Ring Road

Abozekry, Mohammed

JV 570044

Barely a quarter of a century old, this Egyptian who has adopted France juggles with the centuries-old music of his native Orient, transcending it with his oud by infusing them with the inventiveness of jazz and the energy of rock. Dedicated best oudist of the world to 18 years in an international competition in Damascus, Mohamed Abozekry brings the Arab lute out of its original setting; he makes him sing, he injects groove, flamenco and Latin reflections. Already with concerts around the world at the head of his group Heejaz, this modern troubadour offers us with Ring Road a fascinating collection which reads in filigree his love for John Coltrane and Astor Piazzolla, as well as his desire to push the tradition in horizons impregnated with the sounds and the rustle of the world. "The Egyptian oudist exalts the imagination" Télérama "The young prodigy of the oud confirms that he is already a master!" Mondomix
