Rami's piano style is deeply influenced by South American music and the arabesque art of ornamentation. Currently, he is touring major cities of the Arab world between Aswan, Beirut, Dubai, Riyadh and Muscat.\u003cbr\u003eRami Attallah comes from a family with a rich musical heritage. His grandfather was a jazz-oriented drummer who accompanied Louis Armstrong on his African tour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrancel and Attallah have performed numerous concerts together in Egypt and Europe, always enjoying the experience of making music together. They also see themselves as bridge-builders across ethnic, religious and political boundaries. Attallah states: \"music allows us to express ourselves independently of this and to connect with each other as human beings.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey contribute new original compositions to their joint repertoire. Energetic, elegant jazz meets Latin music and delicate ballad playing. The album opens with a subtle, oriental grooving interpretation of Miles Davis' \"Nardis,\" evoking a nocturnal mood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrancel explains: \"After high school, I traveled along the Nile. Egyptian culture and way of life have fascinated me ever since. When I improvise on hypnotic, rhythmically driven songs like Rami's 'El Mahrousa', I feel truly fortunate.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1996, Mulo Francel founded Quadro Nuevo with his childhood friend Didi Lowka on double bass. Since then, the adventurous ensemble has traveled extensively, exploring daring musical styles, winning the ECHO award twice, and receiving the German Jazz Award multiple times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobert Kainar is considered one of Austria's most dynamic drummers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * Nardis\u003cbr\u003e * Eternal Man\u003cbr\u003e * Personal Hero\u003cbr\u003e * Frédéric\u003cbr\u003e * Global Players\u003cbr\u003e * El Mahrousa\u003cbr\u003e * Melodic Side of Me\u003cbr\u003e * Olive di Guardistallo\u003cbr\u003e * Open Questions\u003cbr\u003e * A Secretive Dance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59332851302774,"sku":"4014063440723","price":10.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13951444_10380831_20250731095840_59e343a7-ef8f-4e16-a41f-b7900ab1ed0a.jpg?v=1794497429","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/4014063440723-global-players","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
