Le Paris Bagdad
acoustic music inspired by oriental tradition
CD 1999 | Music on the go / Buda music / Socadisc distribution
The Paris Bagdad tells the story of Fawzy, that of a man who flies over Iraq in "a large bird". He sees a little light below, and thinks of this country, his, where he has not set foot in a long time.
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
Fawzy captivates with his music which borrows from the oriental traditions of the Thousand and One Nights and the muezzin blues while moving towards the writing of today's music.
"Music is the eternal mistress to whom I entrust my life and with which I share dreams and passion." - Fawzy
