Dhafer Youssef

I discovered Dhaffer Youssef on release of his very first Album Eletric Suffi July 2001.

I was blown away by his incredible Oud Playing Versality...Stunned to my core by his Extraoridinary Vocal Ability and Stratophoric Octavial Range, not to overlook his Nasal Resonances for breathtaking effect.

I have ever Album he has released!!
Attended each and every concert apearance in London. The most recent at the Barbican.

Regardless of your musical taste you mustattend one of his Live Concerts as its Visseral and Spiritual Experience like no other Concert.

His recent release featuring Marcus Miller and others is a Must Buy..

There are many Great Oud Players^^ But none as lyrically versatile, or emotionally passionate in their playing as Dafer.

Every note he plays pulls on one's heart strings, such his is portrayal of his Art.

I only started following Piers Faccini recently when I heard his track Tribe on a friends car CD player, and I fell in love with it immediately and was desperate to see him perform live. After finding more music of Faccini’s, it became evident that as well as being an incredible vocalist, his song writing skills, and guitar playing are both incredible.

In fact, he opened the show with Tribe which was surreal, and half way through the track he played an incredibly intricate guitar solo, creating a beat by hitting the body in between strums, and improvising flawlessly. Although his recordings are of cause breath taking, hearing the improvisations and alternative twists on the tracks at the show was something really magical that you’d never experience on a recording.

He played through a great selection of his tracks, from his debut EP Leave No Trace, and he even played a track from the drama Killing Hitler that he composed the music for. He was a reasonably introverted performer, but translated his emotions very well, and really had the audience on board for the entire show.
