Spiritualism is asserted manifesting itself without any complex and far from stereotypes. The album was marked by the arrival of Arve Henriksen and Marilyn Mazur together with the road companions Eivind Aarset, Audun Erlien, Rune Arnesen.

Dhafer Youssef Tour
While Dhafer Youssef’s electronic side is more evident in older recordings like Divine Shadows (2006) or Digital Prophecy (2003), the personnel he has assembled for the more acoustic sound of Abou Nawas Rhapsody (2010) generates a really unusual sound with the oud as the leading instrument. The album is marked with the sounds of Arve Henriksen and Marilyn Mazur, together with Dhafer’s now longtime companions Eivind Aarset, Audun Erlien, and Rune Arnesen. After the 2003 nominations for the BBC Awards for World Music, “Divine Shadows” secures Dhafer a third nomination in 2006. Dhafer Youssef is a Tunisian Oud player, vocalist and composer born in November 19th, 1967 in Teboulba. The son of a modest family from this Tunisian Center-Eastern fishing village, he comes from a long line of muezzins.
