(Egypt/France)

This is both an unusual but completely in keeping with what we love to do here at Frusion .. both stimulating and amazing live music... rather than say to much let us let the projects lead musician and producer let you know what it's all about other than brilliant music and amazing stage show.

One can only dream of distant times when musicians, dancers, and all different kinds of artists lingered in the neighborhoods and cafés of Cairo, awaiting nightly propositions to perform at parties, weddings or child births.

It's an electronic-acoustic vibe that reveals and awakens the beauty of the music of the Nile riverbanks and carries listeners to far and distant lands. It's the undertaking of Jérôme Ettinger, a musician without borders and the art director of the project. For over 10 years, he multiplied the number of musical experiments, artists residencies, and meetings in France and in Egypt and organized many educational activities around traditional Egyptian instruments (rababa, percussion, violin, singing and kawala) and computer made music. Jérôme, while immersing himself in the Egyptian culture, combining sequencers with the maqsoum, baladi or ayoub rhythms of the master percussionist Ragab Sadek ; integrating the incredible outpourings of singer and kawala player Sayed Eman with the contemporary vocal work of Jérôme Ettinger ; tuning the notes of the famous rababa player and violinist Salama Metwally with a computer;

Jérôme Ettinger being an argûl player (a rare Egyptian double clarinette), learned to play with the famous Mostafa Abdel Aziz (Musiciens du Nil, Mozart l'égyptien, Peter Gabriel... ). Accompanied from the start by his friend Ihab Radwan, an oud player.
