Masmoudi Quartette is the fortuitous encounter between musicians from different cultural universes, which started in Tunisia before developing in Quebec.

The group uses jazz improvisations and classical influences, peppered with klezmer tones and tango rhythms, with a host of other influences along the way, in a process of true openness and experience.

The Masmoudi Quartette includes Guillaume Martineau on piano, Rémi-Jean LeBlanc on double-bass, Gabriel Paquin-Buki on clarinet, and art director Mohamed Masmoudi on the oud. Known for their versatility, their sensitivity, and their virtuosity, the four musicians present Eternal Cities, where the lively tradition of Mediterranean-African music is at the heart of the compositions, from its use of peculiar maqamat scale modes to its distinctive meters.
