22nd June 2012 at the V&A (Sculpture Gallery), London SW7.
Casablanca Evening (free event. Part of Refugee Week).
Country: Algeria (French resident). Style: Andalusi & Middle Eastern.
Lineup: Maurice El Medioni (v/p), Khyam Allami (oud), Vasilis Sarikis (cajón/darbuka/mazhar).
Maurice El Medioni was born in Oran in 1928, grew up in Algiers and moved to France in the 1960s (with most of Algeria's Jewish popuation). His style combines elements of Andalusi music, Jazz, Latin and Boogie Woogie. Here he collaborated with two UK based musicians. I have taken photos in the past of Khyam Allami playing solo (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157625345430523/) and, on several occasions, Vasilis Sarikis with She'koyokh (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/vasilissarikis/).
