ABOUT
The career of Abderraouf Ouertani is above all a story about curiosity and meeting. It begins with the discovery of the luth in Tunisia at the age of 13. Prematurely, he leaves the conservatory. 'The luth is dead, Long live the luth !' To seek new horizons, he moves to Paris in 2008 where he continued Doctoral Studies in the domain of Anthropology in Music at The School Of High Social Sciences Studies of Paris (EHESS). He defended his PhD thesis in January 2021. He records a first duo disc of his compositions for oud with percussionist Mohammed Amine Jebali. His first album entitled 'Contes d'un misérable luth' is out in 2013, July the 3rd. He chose the formula of the quartet to present it on stage accompanied by Chilean double-basse player Patricio Lisboa, French saxophonist Benoît Meynier and Palestinian percussionist Yousef Zayed ; before recording with them his second album 'Contes outre-méditerranéens' (2015). After discovering a Caviller-Coll organ in the little church of his neighborhood, he decided to compose for a oud-organ duet in a collaboration with his Jazz tutor Patrick Villanueva that lead to the publishing of 'Duo Deux Rives' (2018). For his fourth album, he opted to keep the duo formula. 'Tales of a return to the imaginary country' with Korean piano player Daum Jung is released on November 2021.
