Description
The Khoury Project is a string trio made up of three extraordinary musicians from Amman, Jordan whose music is a melting pot of traditions from the Middle East and Mediterranean, fused with jazz, flamenco, gypsy, Celtic, and Indian music.
Living and working out of Paris, the brothers are part of a musical current running through the city that endeavours to express different musical cultures freed from the stylistic pigeonholes in which they are too often kept. The trio is supported by the leading London based entertainment agency International Entertainment Corporation.
"The world is vast and richly diverse; their music is just as kaleidoscopic, open to every wind." - Franc Medoni, Le Monde
Personnel: Elia Khoury (oud), Osama Khoury (qanun), Basil Khoury (violin), with Guillaume Robert (double bass), Inor Sotolongo (percussion), Youssef Hbeisch (oriental percussion)
