Islamic Sufism meets electric jazz in the music of Tunisian vocalist and old virtuoso Dhafer Youssef.
“It’s music that tethers Third World beats to First World technology, a thin cross-cultural membrane connecting the ancient with the modern, the sacred with the profane” - Mojo Magazine.
This spellbinding musician’s band is a truly global affair, with Japanese drummer Satoshi Takeishi, Canadian bassist Chris Jennings and Polish pianist Marcin Wasilewski.
“The kind of gig you watched and prayed would never end” - Straight No Chaser.
Dhafer Youssef will perform in the Pacific Blue Note (Wellington Town Hall) as part of the Wellington Jazz Festival.
