Created by Jazz musicians (Tony Petrucciani, Tal Farlow) and Flamenco musicians (Juan Carmona, Antonio Jero) he was recognised very early by the public and professionals (1st Prize of the International Congress Guitar of Cannes, at the age of 18). During the following decades, he was oriented towards traditional music and accompanied a number of singers and Mediterranean groups, in very varied styles (Akim el Sikameya, Cinqui So, Michèle Fernandez…). Strong with these experiences, he formed Cie RASSEGNA in 2002, as artistic director and guitarist. At the core of this formation, he re-united singers and musicians coming from all of the Great South, and directed the creations which are a musical reflection of the life in the Mediterranean. With Cie Rassegna, he has given more than 400 concerts (in over 20 countries) produced three albums, and generated a number of artistic collaborations (notably with Annie Ebrel, Katia Guerreiro, Renaud Garcia-Fons or Sinan Célik…). His last creation, ‘Zaman Fabriq’, which mixes Egyptian soufi singing, Turkish music, and Human Beatbox, was one of the main attractions of the 2009 edition of Babel Med Music. Resolutely turning towards popular music of the Mediterranean, he is re-writing and ambitions to bring it to a large public. “More inclined to do less than too much, he raises the level by a note, blowing on the Andalusian embers with nobles and distinction” P.L.
