Maurice El Médioni - live @ the Barbican, London (2008)

El Medioni played as a support musician before the great Khaled show on the 21.06.2008 in London.

"I play la musique orientale, la musique andalouse," (he said). "Us Jews, we call it judeo-andalouse; the Arabs call it arabo-andalouse. But there is no difference - it is a kind of traditional music that came to us from Spain after 1492, (the year of the expulsion from Spain of the country' s Jews) and it was kept alive all across North Africa."
