Dhafer Youssef at Berklee Performance Center

About

From Tunisia, Dhafer Youssef is widely considered the most inventive oud player today. In addition to being a consummate vocalist and prolific composer, he combines traditional Sufi music, world, and jazz influences with Arabic lyricism to create a spellbinding, sublime journey. Performing alongside piano, bass, and drums, Youssef makes his Boston debut touring in support of his new album, Diwan of Beauty and Odd, acclaimed by critics as "pure musical creation [that] becomes a reference point and enters the pantheon of classics.”
