Dhafer Youssef
Tunisian-born singer and oud (Arabic lute) virtuoso Dhafer Youssef’s hypnotic, Sufi-inspired music connects the ancient with the modern, the East with the West in an enticing coalescence of culture. Youssef draws on the evocative sound of his Islamic heritage, combining it with new directions in European jazz and “a voice that could stop wars” (Songlines) to create timeless atmospheres of sound. In his Real Art Ways debut, he is joined by compelling Vietnamese guitarist – Nguyên Lê and omnidexterous percussionist Satoshi Takeishi.
