Abdou Ezzari, multi-instrumentalist, composer and manufacturer of electric Ouds, was born in Morocco in 1965. Growing up in Meknes within a family of musicians, he got in contact with traditional Moroccan rhythms, tunes and with the Oud (oriental lute) at an early stage. He’s also been strongly influenced by Blues, Rock and Jazz and virtuously moves within the different styles.
After living in France for several years where he participated in Rock-and Blues Bands as guitar player and singer, he’s been living in Germany since 1995, where he first got the chance to experiment with electronic sound-design and the incredible possibilities of enriching his musical ideas. During the last years he has been producing his own compositions and participating in different Jazz- Electronic- and Rock-Groups as Oud-player, percussionist and singer.
His latest project ORIENT EXIT with his own compositions and a remake of a traditional moroccan tune is a very dense and intense impression of both, electronic and natural sounds consisting of traditional tribal rhythms by afro- and oriental percussion sounds, electronic atmospheres and Oud-tunes which are set in a completely new musical context with Ezzari’s very personal handwriting. His electric Oud which he manufactured himself produces a wide range of sounds- from carefully arranged oriental melodies to wild, alienated and distorted riffs. This exciting Live-Performance will not only be a pleasure for the ears of North African music fans, but also those of Rock-, Blues- and Electronic music.
