Maurice El Medioni


A fascinating example of how music transcends religious, cultural, and geographic boundaries. El Medioni, an Algerian Jew living in France, was exposed to jazz and Latin music from meeting African-American and Puerto Rican soldiers in Oran during WWII. Adding those influences to the long history of Andalusian/Maghebri music, we get excellent music.
