Dhafer Youssef & Eivind Aarset in Vicenza 💫

 


Yesterday evening, at Vicenza’s Teatro Comunale, I attended to one of the very best concerts of my whole life.

The duo created an alternate dimension of beauty where the audience was brought after a few notes; a world where Arabic tradition goes parallel with Western tradition, in a fruitful, endless and timeless dialogue, in peace.













After the concert opening, with my seat neighbor - a passionate and empathetic lady I met there - we were whispering each other’s about “holy music” and “these Men are Saints”, in a quiet yet fierce and feverish way.

The emotional content of this music was sooo high and true and sincere it was palpable; also thanks to the superb light-show discretely accompanying the music, I soon had tears and goosebumps everywhere, a lasting emotion which left me washed-out, in awe.

Morocco meets Norway, oud and electric guitar with Ebow and pedals… and Dhafer’s voice.

The Voice of an Angel.

The duo interplay, the joy pouring from the stage left me a deeeep sense of happiness and positivity.

… and - truly - after all this, “uscii a riveder le stelle”
