Hi All,

North African influences, Jazz and Classical. The gig is at London Southbank Centre’s

Dhafer Youssef's music blends Sufi traditions, world and jazz influences, with Arabic lyricism and mysticism. Drummer Satoshi Takeishi and bassist
Peter Herbert are
added to the mix; both highly regarded in their own right and spiritual partners in Dhafer’s music. Britten Sinfonia's season brochure is attached
so you can see what else we're playing this season.
Hope to see some of you there,
Frances
