DUNIA is a Woman, a Mother, but it is also, in some sub-Saharan cultures, a concept that refers to Mother Earth; a Nature as Mother - It includes everything and is supported by every single movement (even if apparently small and insignificant) and by every single emotion, projecting its ultimate meaning onto a higher Universal level.
In this project the sound of the OUD adapts to a more electric context, without stylistic constraints.
The result is a meeting between different sounds: from jazz to fusion, to Middle Eastern music, to rock, to psychedelic music.
A sound that seeks constant dialogue between Particular and Universal, trying to bring together different styles, clear and incisive melodies immersed in a sound context that refers to a deeper second level, which only apparently lies in the background.

THE PROJECT
The combination between sounds, melodies, rhythms of traditional Ottoman-Mediterranean music and atmospheres of European contemporary jazz, come together in this project, creating a unique and fashinating sound able to evoke, in the listener, a journey beyond the temporal dimension from the colors of Senegal to the wide silent spaces of the north, mixing sounds, elements and people of different cultures in one breath.
