Hassan Erraji
Music for the Arabian Dulcimer & Lute
On this album Hassan Erraji performs on both Arabian dulcimer (kanun) and Arabian lute (oud). All the pieces are composed by him.
"Hassan
Erraji was born in the village of Tazart, near Marrakesh in southern
Morocco. His passion for music began at a very early age. He used to
attend every possible musical event in the area, from small parties
to national festivals or seasonal celebrations ... Losing his sight
at about the age of six only made his commitment to the world of
sounds firmer and his imagination broader ...
Later
he joined 'Le Conservatoire Municipal de Casablanca' where he
imporved his oud playing techniques and studied the arab theory and
practice of music, especially taqsims and maqams. In the 'Institut
Royal pour Aveugles Sourds-Muets et Ambliopes' in Brussels [Belgium],
Hassan studied western classical music, Braille music notation ...
Today,
Hassan Erraji has established his own unique style, developing oud, kanun,
and darbuka playing techniques to unprecedented heights...
