Let yourself be carried away by the spellbinding world of Driss El Maloumi, a true master of the oud. Together with the Brussels-based musicians of the Watar Quintet, the Moroccan artist invites us on an inner journey, where East and West meet and intertwine with grace.
Between the ancient depth of the lute and the delicacy of the strings, music becomes a dialogue, a shared breath. Driss El Maloumi brings a new light to tradition, blending Berber rhythms, Mediterranean accents and the elegance of chamber music.
To make this creation an exceptional moment, he will be joined by distinguished guests: Ballaké Sissoko (3MA) on kora and Vardan Hovanissian on duduk.
More than a concert, this is a sensory journey, a moment suspended in time where virtuosity fades into the background, giving way to pure emotion and the power of connection.
