Dhafer Youssef — Nancy Jazz Pulsations, 2026

Live concert by Dhafer Youssef captured at the Nancy Jazz Pulsations 2026 festival and released by ARTE Concert. The Tunisian oud player and vocalist, a major figure of contemporary jazz, confirms the vocal and instrumental command that defines his signature, moving between Arabic modes, jazz improvisation and Sufi spirituality. Built around pieces such as «Street of Minarets», «Eyeblink and Eternity», «The Epistle of Love» and «Shajan», the set weaves atmospheres where the oud converses with an acoustic ensemble and soaring falsetto vocals. The capture, with the image and sound quality typical of ARTE Concert, highlights the finesse of the arrangements and the dynamics of the live performance, from whisper to collective incandescence. This full concert speaks to jazz lovers and to listeners curious about world music in search of a demanding, sensitive repertoire. Nancy, France, 2026: a filmed live concert that illustrates Dhafer Youssef’s singular place on the European jazz scene, between Mediterranean heritage and contemporary sonic research.
