PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
Walid Zairi & Talween is aptly named after the Arabic word for coloring. Presenting a collection of highly pictorial original compositions, Walid applies his experience as a musician and globe-trotter to create paintings on canvases and takes the oud outside of its usual conservative milieu. These musical pictures arouse the senses with melodies that are intense and gentle, creating a subtle mix of new world music, oriental sounds, and jazzy beats with a prominent African flavor.
