The SAOUTA quartet brings together the oud, soprano saxophone, double bass, and percussion. The group draws on Arabic, Mediterranean, and jazz music to create a sound identity where tradition and contemporary creativity meet. The compositions provide a precise framework that leaves plenty of room for improvisation. The balance between composition and spontaneity allows the musicians to develop a fluid collective style, where each instrument is considered a voice in its own right.
The new repertoire, Traces, explores the conscious and unconscious memories that pass through us—gestures, voices, silences, stories transmitted or transformed. Each piece questions what continues to resonate within us: joys, struggles, dreams, wounds.
