El Andalus
..sufi-inspired trance music from the Sahara's edge..
El-Andalus are London's leading exponents of classical Arab-Andalus music. They are led by oud (Arab lute) player Yazid Fentazi who has performed with Cheb Mami, Cheb Sahraoui and the Turqui Brothers, whilst his progressive songwriting skills are used to great effect within the extraordinary Rai-fusion band Fantazia. Accompanied by world class derbouka player Karim Dellali (Moiré Music, Oojami) and acrobatic violinist Frank Biddulph (Mukka, Fantazia), the trio is regularly expanded to a quartet by the addition of Algerian bassist extraordinaire, Hamid Bouri. El-Andalus onstage take us on a memorable musical journey from southern Spain via Algeria to the very edges of the Sahara ..
