El Fallah Khaless

The project is to embark on a long journey from the Maghreb region to the Middle East and Europe in order to combine the diversities and variations between the maqams (melodic modes and scales) in these areas. The essential idea behind the project is to transcend geographical boundaries as El Fallah strives to express himself and his identity which he discovered is rooted in many and diverse origins. “Wachma” will be a meeting point for all these geographical and musical sources. El Fallah plays the watar, the oud, and the banjo; and in this project, he will combine them with other Western instruments.
