Tunisian oud master known for blending Arabic musical tradition with jazz and European chamber textures; long-time recording artist for ECM Records.

Born 1957 in Tunis; oud player with a long association with ECM Records; noted for cross-cultural collaborations and refined trio recordings.

The reviews praise Anouar Brahem's oud playing as a living continuation of Arabic musical history. His ECM album Le Voyage De Sahar is described as magical, hypnotic and deeply refined. Live performance review emphasises intimate trio interplay and technical subtlety. Both reviews give top ratings and focus on cross-cultural blending.

For:Fans of world music and jazz, listeners interested in the oud and Mediterranean cross-genre music.

 This splendid mirage fortunately does not belong only to the past, because even today there are many musicians capable of giving new life to this instrument.

 At the end of the performance, repeated bursts of applause, filled with satisfied gratitude, from the (relatively) numerous audience***1/2 prompted the immediate return of the phenomenal yet grateful and smiling Trio for an admirable and applauded encore which seals, as the starry midnight approaches, a pleasant and, alas infrequent, happy and full of inwardly satisfying audio-night.
