Hello everybody, ciao a tutti, salut tout le monde, azul sahbi,
in the last months many things happened to the Trio!
First of all, the new album "Exagéré!" is finally out! released by AfoforoMusicClub on september 11th 2014, it was recorded by Paolo Corsi with big tube microphones and mixed on a boat from Lampedusa to Sfax. The artwork is by the mighty Gigi Fagni. You can get your copy at the shows or order it at afoforomusicclub@gmail.com

Then a beautiful series of concerts: after the one-shots at Darmstadt (D) and Montreux (CH) the trio played from Lampedusa to Paris, passing from Livorno, Firenze, Siena, Napoli, Latina, Pistoia and Bologna.

During the tour they had the time to start composing material for the new album: here's some videos of the work in progress filmed in Lampedusa, Napoli and Latina. As you can see the new material is going to be even more groovy and rock!

ACHREF CHARGUI TRIO fall 2013

ACHREF CHARGUI – oud
PIERO SPITILLI – contrabass
JACOPO ANDREINI – drums

NEW TOUR: OCTOBER 30th - NOVEMBER 3rd 2013
get in touch NOW to book one concert!!!

Achref Chargui and Jacopo Andreini met in Tunis in 2006 during the recording of the new album by the French-Italian-Tunisian band L'ENFANCE ROUGE released as “Trapani – Alq al Waady” and distributed worldwide. Their meetings intensified in the last 3 years, before and after the so-called “Jasmin Revolution” and they wanted to find ways to collaborate musically.
Through the Italian cultural association DRABA and thank to AFOFORO MUSIC CLUB Mr. Chargui was able to come to Italy for the first time and set up several meetings with local musicians and recording session for his debut solo album “NOTES”, released by Afoforomusicclub in may 2013 and digitally available on Bandcamp.
During this first meeting Achref Chargui started also an international project called “No Borders' Music” about his own compositions rooted in traditional Tunisian melodies and rhythms. In addition to this, Mr. Andreini proposed to start a trio with his long time collaborator Piero Spitilli.
Veronica Citi, very active documentary director and photographer, was also invited to be part of the project, filming Mr. Chargui in several exclusive locations and starting documenting both the “No Borders' Music” and trio materials.
The trio played in several italian jazz clubs, further exploring their compositions, their sound and their interplay. Now they are ready to tour extensively through European countries, plus Japan and Brazil in 2014. They have been invited to play in Vevey (next to Montreux, Switzerland) in june 2013.

Achref Chargui's trio music is deeply rooted in both Arabic music and jazz improvisation. The band's ability to compose in real time themes and structures, with any kind of time signatures, shifting tempos, multi-layered patterns and sound research of the acoustical instruments, not to mention the huge knowledge of oriental modes by Mr. Chargui, is unique and precious. Far away from standard approaches to sound and music, the trio's endless research for beauty follows mysterious paths toward unique listening experiences.

ACHREF CHARGUI trio


ACHREF CHARGUI TRIO (Tunisia / Italia)
Achref Chargui - oud, voce
Piero Spitilli - contrabbasso
Jacopo Andreini - batteria

La musica del trio è basata sulle armonie della musica Classica Araba e dell'improvvisazione di stampo jazzistico. L'abilità dei tre musicisti nel creare in tempo reale temi e strutture con cambiamenti di tempo, pattern stratificati e ricerca delle sonorità più estreme dei propri strumenti rigorosamente acustici - senza parlare dell'enorme conoscenza di Chargui dei modi musicali di tutto l'Oriente - rendono la musica del trio profonda e unica. Lontani dagli approcci standard al suono e alla musica, l'infinita ricerca del trio segue sentieri misteriosi attraverso esperienze d'ascolto irripetibili.



Il gruppo approfitterà di questo mini tour per registrare un album e girare due nuovi video:

11 aprile - Firenze, La Cité
13 aprile - Poppi (AR) La Gionchera
14 aprile - Latina, Hemingway

Due video dell'ottobre 2012 girati da veronica Citi:
Toscana
Brise

e uno dalle session del progetto "No Borders Music"
Il trio sta già organizzando il prossimo tour dal 17 al 27 giugno 2013. La prima data confermata è al festival di Vevey (Svizzera). Se siete interessati, non esitate a contattarci!
