This complete concert brings together French singer Enrico Macias and the Andalusian Orchestra of Ashdod, conducted by double bassist Omer Avital. A major figure of Mediterranean-inspired French chanson, Enrico Macias draws on his Judeo-Arabic heritage from Constantine for a repertoire where popular song meets Andalusian modes. This live capture presents his greatest hits rearranged by a traditional orchestra, between a return to roots and refreshed Andalusian colours — the show also includes the premiere of two new songs. Carried by the singer’s guitar and warm voice, the encounter illustrates the bridges between chanson, Arab-Andalusian tradition and Mediterranean music. For fans of French chanson and world music, this filmed concert is a precious curiosity: the dialogue between a popular artist and a learned ensemble, in a careful and generous performance. A complete live concert, to discover for the singular meeting of two musical worlds on one stage.
