Hijaz

A multi-ethnic quartet, which although its starting point is the rich Arabic tradition, it has been evolving through the jazz genres into something dreamy and panhuman. The group of Hijazz consists of Tunisian Moufadhel Adhoum (uti), the Greek-born pianist Niko Deman, the Portuguese bassist Ruy Salgado and the Belgian drummer / percussionist Chryster Aerts. Its main field of action is mainly the multiple and complex music styles of the Mediterranean which are blended and create a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. The group has released three albums ("Dunes", "Chemsi" and "Nahadin") through the music of which one can see the abolishment of borders and restrictive constraints. With Hijaz we are experiencing a real sense cultural freedom.
