DIVINE SHADOWS

In 2004, Dhafer is invited by Norwegian producer, composer and pianist BuggeWesseltoft, on his album “Film Ing”. He collaborates with him on the song “Hope”. Far from being ephemeral, this new collaboration grows with the release of “Divine Shadows” (2005), under the label Jazzland Records, founded by BuggeWesseltoft. After these unlikely encounters between Oud and electronic music (Electric Sufi), Dhafer Youssef sets himself a new challenge which consisted in introducing more string instruments to his creative universe. This surrealist equation resolved with the release of “Divine Shadows” in 2005. The sound is resolutely thrilling without losing its ethereal aspect. Spiritualism is asserted manifesting itself without any complex and far from stereotypes. The album was marked by the arrival of Arve Henriksen and Marilyn Mazur together with the road companions Eivind Aarset, Audun Erlien, Rune Arnesen. After a first nomination for the BBC awards for world music in 2003, “Divine Shadows” will bring him a new nomination in 2006.
