Juju! Ft. El Andaluz

El-Andaluz are the leading exponents in London of classical Arabic and Andalusian music, led by oud (Arab lute) player Yazid Fentazi who has performed with Cheb Sahraoui, Master Drummers of Africa, Robert Plant, Marc Almond, Natacha Atlas and Joi.

His playing has been compared to that of the great Anouar Brahem. He is accompanied by the inimitable derbouka playing of Karim Dellali, the exciting melodic violin of Frank Biddulph and the oriental bass style of Algerian bassist extraordinaire, Hamid Bouri. El-Andaluz take the audience on a wonderful journey around the southern shores of the Mediterranean, often beginning with a poetic and reflective Andalusian Nuba, then travelling on to the trance-like Sufi music of the Sahara.

They never fail to end the evening by getting the audience on their feet dancing to the celebratory Chaabi music of Algeria, or to a classical Egyptian belly dance.
