Yacine Boularès: Abu Sadiya

Both a spiritual guide and a popular figure,
Abu Sadiya is the founder of the Tunisian Stambeli ritual, in which music and trance play a central role. Saxophonist and clarinettist Yacine Boularès evokes this mystical figure in his eponymous project, a vast, evocative suite that leads the listener from the dunes of the Sahara to the streets of Manhattan.

The artists: Yacine Boularès (soprano saxophone, bass clarinet); Vincent Segal (cello); Nasheet Waits (drums)
