Brilliant.


@yamoontak : Yes !!! Steven Wilson & Dhafer Youssef would be great, along with Murof (Fernando Corona) !

Dhafer makes me more proud of my country’s music… it’s a shame that I bought a ticket for a cancelled gig (Dark Tranquillity & Paradise Lost) and skiped his concert last month in Tunisia ! :(


Out of this world!


fully sick from perth australia


What can? I say about Youssef Dhafer… Amazing ! Tunisian Modernity ! Spiritual Elevation… I am a big fan of Youssef and love this HD video !

francois couturier: piano (can be changed)
dhafer youssef:- oud & vocals
björk: vocals
palle mikkelborg: trumpet
terje rypdal: guitar

wow…


I´m thinking 5/4 2 bars then 3/8. But it´s pretty easy when you listen to the riff.

true art….


…amazing! can’t stop listening, it just blows my mind!


wow, very nice, different style… reminds me of a concert held N amman – Jordan once called music matbakh, the idea of using western & oriental instruments togather adds a very nice flavour to music :)


what is he saying???????


haha lets try 5/7 or middle east signature’s…:)


Its not only 11/8. First they play 11/8 and then they play 12/8 so you might actuallly call it 23/8.


Awesome at 5:09


amazing!


It sounds like 11/8 at a fast tempo. To figure out odd time signatures, I’ve found it useful to tap my hands alternately and then listen for the beginning of the pattern (in this case on the bass) to change hands instead of always landing on the same hand.


What the hell is time signature of this piece?


senza parole…li ho visti alla palma a Roma…da brividi!!!


How come I didn’t know him before?! magnifique!


perfekte!


great stuff!!!


Eivind Aarstet, what a guitarist!
