Shiraz

“Shiraz”, the ACT debut by Dhafer Youssef, is the most personal album in the career of the world-renowned oud player and singer. In vibrant songs, it tells the story of the most important encounter of his life: meeting his wife, Shiraz Fradi. These are songs about love and gratitude – but also about overcoming life’s hardships together.



At the same time, “Shiraz” marks the premiere of a young, multinational band featuring pianist and ACT artist Daniel García, trumpeter Mario Rom, bassist Swaéli MBappé, and drummer Tao Ehrlich. Together, they open a new chapter in the global success story of a musical trailblazer moving between jazz and the music of the world.
