The young Lő...rinc Barabás has created a unique style using jazz, electronics, dub, hip-hop, reggae and elements of French house. By carefully selecting the instruments and the digital effects plus the addition of a female vocalist and female rapper, he has created an unmistakable sound. Dhafer Youssef grew up with the vocal style of Koranic schools and the radio hits of the 70s and he then went on to make music with Norwegian jazz performers of the Scandinavian nu-jazz subculture. Lőrinc Barabás began playing trumpet at the age of twelve. Initially he studied classical music but his relationship with jazz was sparked at the Kőbánya Music Studio. He graduated from the jazz faculty of the Academy of Music in 2006, where he studied under Krisztina Nemes and Kornél Fekete-Kovács. Dhafer Youssef was born in Tunisia in 1967. He began studying singing at the age of five, primarily following the strict traditions of the local Islamic community. He taught himself to play the Arab lute, the oud. His music takes as a starting point the Islamic spiritual-mystical Sufism, as well as the Arabic troubadour tradition and he has fused this trend uniquely with European jazz and world music trends. On his 2002 CD Electric Sufi he presented the first encounter of contemporary electronic music with traditional Maghreb melodies. The albums he has released since then feature this combination which is perhaps the most striking characteristic of his individual style.
