Andalusyria brings together two talented artists who have created an original repertoire at the crossroads of flamenco and Arab traditions. Nazih Borish, based in Montreal, is a self-taught oud virtuoso that founded his own school in his hometown of Lattakia, Syria. Gabriel Evangelista, a Montrealer of Spanish origin, is a flamenco-jazz pianist. Both have developed their own musical language over the course of their careers and are committed to this artistic encounter between flamenco, jazz and Syrian music, combining their cultural and personal horizons. The result: musical poetry built on soaring improvised lines that are unique from one concert to another.

Musicians: Nazih Borish (oud), Gabriel Evangelista (piano), Hanser Santos Gomez (cajón)
