As its name suggests, this marks the musician’s first experience with electronic music. For this project, he collaborated with Wolfgang Muthspiel (Guitar), Markus Stockhausen (Trumpet), Deepak Ram (Bansuri), Dieter Ilg (Bass), Mino Cinelu (Percussion), Rodericke Packe (Electronics) as well as Will Calhoun (Drums) and Doug Wimbish (Bass). The sound mixture was exalting. A result of his interest for his vocal undulations and the resonances of sounds, the jazz music in “Electric Sufi” was an opportunity for Dhafer Youssef to experiment new things with his voice and to use it as an instrument.
