Hussain Al Jasmi – Emirats Arabes Unis

Hussain Al Jasmi has one of the most beautiful voices of the Arab peninsula. He presents a secular and religious repertoire full of the emotion and feeling that has made him so popular in the Maghreb.

 Hussain El Jasmi is at the pinnacle of khadjiji music in the Arabian peninsula. While his backing ensemble is contemporary, the foundations of a truly poetic culture lie behind his music today.

The richness of the lyrics and the love of the ancestral poetry of the Arabs of sea and desert remain vibrant.

Poetry has always been an intrinsic part of the national culture, with its long tradition of oral transmission enhanced by the Qur’an. In Bedouin culture, anyone who can write a verse with eloquence is looked upon with almost religious respect.

Hussain El Jasmi’s voice is at once versatile and artful, reminding us of the raw beauty of the voices of pearl fishers or Bedouin poets.
