MAJÄL (DE)

Jazz

Fadhel Boubaker - Oud
Matthias Kurth - Guitar
Konrad Wiemann - Percussion

MAJÄL︱ﻣﺠﺎل is a german based Trio whose sound is fluid and remarkably versatile, yet always unmistakably their own. At its heart is the distinctive voice of the oud, the traditional Arabic lute. Tunisian virtuoso Fadhel Boubaker, rooted in the traditions of Arabic music, continually expands the expressive possibilities of his instrument. Together with guitarist Matthias Kurth and percussionist and electronic musician Konrad Wiemann, he moves freely between modern jazz harmony, complex rhythms, unconventional compositions and atmospheric soundscapes, venturing at times into the raw energy of heavy rock.
