Marwan Allam: Bab Bhar: A tale of Tunis
Loading player...
Musical explorations and conversation take centre stage, Marwan Allam’s debut Bab Bhar combines Arabic, North African and Andalusian forms with modern jazz to create a synthesis which sets the musical languages of the traditional, within the framework of the new.
Allam’s compositions build a bridge between old musics and new by building on rhythms, metres, idioms and intonations that the jazz listener would not expect to hear in a jazz context.
Tunisian Born, New York based Jazz Bass Player Marwan Allam is our musical guest.
