Dazzling strings and captivating vocals

His music defies categorisation, and his performances evoke profound emotions in audiences across the globe. Dhafer Youssef makes spiritual music from the Middle East and North Africa accessible to everyone, with dazzling oud playing and an agile voice spanning four octaves. Underlying this is a deep understanding of Sufi traditions.

A performance by Dhafer Youssef and his band is always a refreshing mystical experience. They traverse the entire emotional landscape, from introspective melancholy to unbridled ecstasy. Through improvisation, the band members propel each other to an extraordinary level of musicianship. Dhafer Youssef’s newest album, Street of Minarets, is a testament to this collaborative brilliance, featuring kindred jazz virtuosos like Herbie Hancock and Marcus Miller.
