Produktinformationen zu „Maurice El Médioni - A Memoir (ePub)“
Undoubtedly great music outlives the musicians who create it. But octogenarian greats such as John Lee Hooker or Cuba's Buena Vista Social Club outlive the initial popularity of their musical genre and then decades later it is their late careers that make the music live on and catch fire to new generations, audiences and markets across the globe, as musical currents and tides, like the 1960's UK blues boom or the 1990's (and still continuing) world music phenomenon, work their unpredictable magic.
The Algerian Jewish master of PianOriental, Maurice El Médioni, will turn 88 this year. His innovative piano style, indomitable spirit and the turbulent panorama of his long career in Algerian chaabi and rai music has followed a similar trajectory. The music should have stopped or at least petered out several times for personal, political and historic reasons. But instead he has become a revered and iconic artist in world music, though in fact even 20 years ago he was largely a forgotten and unknown figure.

Autoren-Porträt von Maurice El Médioni
Maurice El Mediouni, French El Médioni (Arabic: مــوريــس الــمــديــونــي, born on 18 October 1928 in Oran, French Algeria) is a French Algerian pianist, composer and interpreter of Andalusian, rai, Sephardic and Arab music. He is one of the few living artists to have performed with artists such as Lili Labassi, Line Monty, Lili Boniche, Samy el Maghribi, and Reinette l'Oranaise. He is also a professional tailor and took up initially music as a hobby.Born in the Jewish quarter of Oran, in a family of musicians. His uncle was the celebrated Messaoud El Mediouni, "Saoud l'Oranais" who died at the Sobibor concentration camp. He is sometimes regarded as the grandfather of Algerian pop music.
Following the Algerian war of independence he moved to Paris, France, where he worked as a tailor as well as occasionally backing Jewish singers, and in 1967 to Marseilles where he opened a clothing factory and took a break from his musical career, which he resumed in the 1980s. He is currently based in France and Israel, and can be caught live performing solo or with other Arab-French and Jewish-French artists, such as Mahmoud Fadl, the Klezmatics, as well as playing alongside musicians who had originally accompanied him nearly half a century earlier in Algeria and France
