The major musician was born on October 1957, in Halfaouine, in the center of Tunis' Medina. He starts introduction to music and especially to lute at the age of 10. The great Master Ali Sitri revealed for him the deepest secrets of the traditional Arabian music.

The role of the Arabic, lute-like, stringed instrument, the oud, has been revolutionalized through the playing of Anouar Brahem. While used in the past to accompany vocalists, the oud is used by Brahem as an imaginative solo instrument.

He is now among the greatest musicians on the international scene, and plays concerts all over the world, on the most prestigious places: Washington Square Church in New-York, New-Orleans Jazz Festival, Frankfurt International Jazz Festival and many other major events.
