Giuseppe Grifeo
The musical ensemble, Ishk Bashad, composed of musicians from geographical areas and musical backgrounds apparently very distant from one another, was created because of a mutual desire to build a virtual musical bridge between different countries around the world and to use music as an instrument for peace.
The members of the group are Mouna Amari, a  tunisian musician, Peppe Consolmagno, percussionist, Enzo Rao, violinist and Giuseppe Grifeo, pianist. The encounter between the 'prince' of Arabian music, the oud, and the prince of western music, the piano, are connected and encircled percussive sounds from different regions and by violin. "Ishk Bashad" sets out on a musical journey toward cultures and traditions which are highly distinct yet profoundly united in some way creates a new dimension in an unusual and very unique concert. Ishk Bashad gained a great success at the latest Womad festival of Peter Gabriel. Photo: Alessandro Botticelli Amari Mouna

In short, this is an excellent example of the meeting and the mixture between creative jazz, Mediterranean and Arabian music.
