Abdelli
Abdelli - Das ist die poetische und leidenschaftliche Musik
eines Mannes der dem einundzwanzigsten Jahrhundert die traditionelle
Kultur seiner Heimat näher bringt.
Er arbeitet mit Musikern aus Südamerika und der Ukraine
zusammen.
Abdelli is a Berber of the Kabyle people, indigenous North
Africans who inhabited the region since pre-Arab times. His
instrument is the mandole, an Algerian instrument that is
similar to the Portuguese guitar. Abdelli blends traditional
Berber music with Arab music of the urban environment. His
musical ensemble includes Moroccans, a percussionist on darbukka
and bendir, violinist, and a Tunisian ney (flute) player.
He currently lives in exile in Belgium, has won continental
acclaim for his performances and collaborations throughout
Europe and has recorded with the Real World label.
