A modern take on the ancient music of the oud. Using jazz and flamenco influences, the trio bring improvisation and virtuosity to their middle eastern traditions. The trio are sons of a Palestinian master luthier, endowing them with passion and exceptional musicianship for the instrument. With outstanding technical skill, the brothers spin out rich, textured drones or break out into distinct voices locked in expressive dialogue. The soulful oud gives a voice to the trio’s ideas about history, musical evolution and the beautiful, seductive aesthetics of Arabic music. “wistful and brooding, yet always ravishingly tasteful...There are few enough oud (Arab lute) ensembles in the world and none that come close to Trio Joubran for imaginative compositions and intuitive interplay” Songlines Magazine Ahmed Dickinsen & Trio Mestizo Sat 11 Dec North Wall, 7.30pm £12 (£10 concession) Buy tickets here A co-promotion between Combining technical brilliance with his Cuban roots, Ahmed Dickinson is an extraordinary guitarist.
