Assala Trio - Omri Mor / Karim Ziad / Mehdi Nassou

The story of Karim is that of an insatiable traveller, drummer very courted and essential of the North African scene (Cheb Mami, Orchestre National de Barbès, Khaled...) but also of the international jazz scene (Joe Zawinul, Bojan Z, Sixun...). Karim Ziad is a pioneer of mixing Maghreb rhythms with jazz, rock, gnaoua and many other styles...

Moroccan artist with many facets, Mehdi Nassouli has reinvented the art of Tagnaouite through its versatility and love for music. His Gnaoua heritage and his origins allowed him to be in touch with this music at a very young age and he brings his personal touch to make it radiate beyond our borders.

Lulled by music from the Middle East at a very young age and trained in classical music and then jazz, Omri Mor is a young virtuoso pianist with flourishing play and multiple influences.
Spotted very quickly by Avishaï Cohen (double bass) for his great knowledge of Arabo-Andalusian music, Chaabi … and Jazz and his great versatility, he hires him to tour with him as a trio and they will perform together on the biggest stages of Europe and the world.

A hypnotic journey combining jazz, Arab-Andalusian and Southern Moroccan rhythms accompanied by the virtuoso Israeli pianist Omri Mor and by the one who is considered the next generation of the Gnaouie tradition in Morocco, Mehdi Nassouli. An exceptional concert in perspective.
