Dhafer Youssef - Brosella Festival

The festival opens on July 3 with a truly exceptional performance by Dhafer Youssef. The Tunisian oud master and vocalist is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music, seamlessly blending Sufi traditions with jazz, electronic textures and modern influences. His music moves between intimacy and intensity, spirituality and improvisation.

With Shiraz, he presents his most personal work to date. The album is a deeply moving tribute to his wife, telling a story of love, vulnerability and resilience. The compositions unfold as cinematic soundscapes, balancing light and darkness, with his haunting voice and the rich tones of the oud at their core.

Surrounded by a new generation of outstanding musicians, Dhafer Youssef delivers a performance that is both spiritual and immersive. A powerful and poetic opening to the festival.
