Saturday, June 9, 7:30 pm French-Algerian master fingerstyle guitarist, Pierre Bensusan returns to northern Arizona for the USA portion of his current world tour this month at Old Town Center for the Arts in Cottonwood. Offering some of the finest fingerstyle guitar music on the planet, Bensusan will perform Saturday, June 9 at 7:30 p.m. in this most intimate setting.
Described by the L.A. Times as “one of the most unique and brilliant acoustic guitar veterans in the world music scene today”, Bensusan was voted Best World Music Guitar Player in 2008 by Guitar Player Magazine Readers Choice. His name became synonymous with contemporary acoustic guitar genius long before the terms New Age, New Acoustic Music or World Music were invented. With his ability to make a single guitar sound like an entire band as he brings the audience on a mesmerizing musical journey, Bensusan is more than what any musician or music lover expects from a guitarist. He is a composer as well as a bilingual and brave improvisational vocalist, melding whistles and resonant low notes with something like his own scat technique. There is a sense of something both playful and serious in his work, an unparalleled sense of freedom in his compositions and his improvisations. His manner of playing defies classification - crossing world, classical, jazz, traditional, folk and more. None can be isolated as simply Brazilian, Arabic or French; rather, they represent our world in its current state, a world sharing itself, fusing cultures together in ways we have never experienced. If ‘World Music’ is music that pays tribute to the spirit of a collection of human beings through distinct rhythms, traditional instruments and harmonic colors, guitarist, singer and composer Pierre Bensusan can be recognized as one of the most eloquent and diverse world musicians of our time. Not to be missed! |
