Singer, composer, and oud player Dhafer Youssef was born in 1967 in Teboulba, Tunisia. The oud is an Arabic lute, a string instrument that can achieve a beautiful sound from those who know how to master it.

Youssef began singing when he was only five-years-old. Since then he has performed for audiences in Tunisia, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, and other countries. He has appeared with his own ensembles and recorded two albums with them, one in 1993 and the other three years later. Youssef's music combines Sufi tradition, world, mystical, and jazz influences with Arabic lyricism. In 1999, Enja Records released Youssef's third album, Malak, which includes the songs "A Kind of Love," "Tarannoum," and "Eklil." Youssef provided vocals and oud for the album and was accompanied by such well-known artists as violinist Zoltan Lantos, bassist Achim Tang, tabla and dolak player Jatinder Thakur, tambourine player Carlo Rizzo, bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons, and drummer Patrice Héral. In 2002, Youssef released Electric Sufi on Enja and added electronic elements and funky grooves to his genre-bending sound. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide

Wolfgang Muthspiel & Dhafer Youssef - Glow (2007)
World music is a vague, pliable, record-industry term and its ambiguity is perfectly exhibited tonight. While Tunisian singer and oud player Dhafer Youssef and Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel create music that sounds deeply rooted in ancestral Sufi laments that would send Womad punters into raptures, they constantly pull apart, embroider and restitch the form of each piece. In other words, it is jazz.

Where does jazz stop and world music start? The boundaries are getting more blurred by the minute. We're all postmodernists now, and many musicians under fifty reflect a range of influences beyond those traditionally associated with their own core style. Some, like French-Vietnamese guitarist Nguyen Le , are so polyglot as to be practically beyond category.

Le started out down the cultural miscenegation road with his first band, the multi-ethnic Ultramarine, whose 1989 album, De, was named World Music Album of the Year by the radical French newspaper Liberation. He's continued to mix it up ever since—prominent genre-benders he's worked with include Miroslav Vitous , Trilok Gurtu, David Liebman, Paul McCandless , Peter Erskine and Mino Cinelu . In the late 1990s Le became increasingly interested in Maghrebi music, working with Algerian singers Safy Boutella and Cheb Mami, and in 1998 he brought Maghrebi and Vietnamese musicians together on the album Maghrebi & Friends.

None of this, however, can prepare you for the galaxy of sound sources on Homescape, a series of alternating duets with Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu and Tunisian oud player Dhafer Youssef. Some of these sources are developed and explored, others are referred to only in passing, and they include—but aren't limited to—post-Hendrix rock, Milesian harmon-mute free improv, Maghrebi trance music, Ellingtonia, ambient, a Papua New Guinea vocal choir (sampled and replayed backwards), Delta blues, Vietnamese folk tunes, flamenco, Iranian modes, a Sardinian choir, Australian aboriginal ritual music, French chanson, Gregorian chant, and Indonesian gamelan/gong music.

Austrian reed man Wolfgang Puschnig, Tunisian oud player and vocalist Dhafer Youssef, and Indian tabla master Jatinder Thakur met in Puschnig's home base of Vienna at the beginning of the '90s, but they did not record as a trio until last year. These three tracks with special guests were recorded in 1997 and have just been released. Odem, their debut, is an intimate and relaxed meeting of three distinct musical languages that find a convincing common ground.
Odem is also a showcase for Puschnig and Youssef's versatility as players. Puschnig is one of the founding members of the Vienna Art Orchestra and a main soloist in Carla Bley's bands, but he also feels at home in funky duets with bass guitarist Jamaaladeen Tacuma and his collaboration with the Korean percussion ensemble SamulNori. Youssef's music is rooted in the Sufi tradition, but he is open to many musical ideas, and lately he has brought the oud into much more electric environments through his collaborations with Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset, trumpeter Arve Hendriksen, and keyboard player Bugge Wesseltoft. Thakur, who played on Youssef's first two discs (Malak, Enja, 1999; Electric Sufi, Enja, 2002), comes from a lineage of tabla players and is associated with great sarod player Ali Akbar Khan's college of music.
The opening "Promise," written by Youssef, displays his skill at composing simple and catchy sentences and Puschnig's ease at ornamenting these sentences with bluesy phrasing. "Armenian Longing" and "Soul Rewind" are arresting duets between Youssef's devotional and fragile vocals and the gentle sax playing of Puschnig, and they are the most beautiful tracks here. "Strained Ties" is based on an Middle Eastern scale; Puschnig improvises on his flute as if it was an Indian bamboo flute, the bansuri.
Some of the collaborations with the special guests are not as successful as the trio playing. The ceremonial "Hanullim Project" with Korean percussionist and vocalist Lee Kwang Soo and the better realized, peaceful reading of "Worlds Apart" by Puschnig's wife, singer Linda Sharrock, push Youssef aside, focusing on Puschnig's masterful flute playing. But the last track, the Youssef-penned "Boushouisha," with Armenian percussionist Arto Tuncboyacian and bassist Achim Tang, is a festive conclusion to this cosmopolitan, open-minded meeting that ends with Youssef's
