Info
On October 14, 2026, at the Opéra national de Nancy-Lorraine, Dhafer Youssef will unfold his universe at the crossroads of contemporary jazz and Oriental traditions. The Tunisian master of the oud, he relies on a supple, almost incantatory voice to glide melodies between Arab modes, improvised bursts, and charged silences. Around him, a lineup crafted for the adventure: Daniel García on piano for harmonic finesse, Mario Rom on trumpet for brightness and counterpoints, Swaéli Mbappé on bass, and Tao Ehrlich on drums to keep the pulse and drive it. With Shiraz as the through-line, the concert promises an intimate journey where Sufi heritage meets modern writing, without folklore, with his distinctive ability to transform raw emotion into living music. As a guest, Nguyên Lê on guitar brings an electric, taut color, ideal for pushing the ensemble toward experimentation.
