New Sounds
Program #2138
Show #2138
Tuesday, March 25, 2003
John Schaefer spotlights European jazz with a world and folk music flavoring in tonight's New Sounds. We hear music by Dhafer Youssef, rooted in the Sufi tradition and other streams of mystical sounds. His CD Electric Sufi unites jazz improvisation, ethnic roots, funk grooves and electronics into a novel West-Eastern amalgam. Guitarist Nguyen Lewas born in Paris, but both his parents were Vietnamese, and the music of his ancestral homeland has forms an important strand in his work. Anouar Brahem, Enzo Favata, and Trio S are among the other artists who revel in a rich ethnic mixture.
