Gouda Bar

Description

An original instrumental music project led by composer and Oud player Aly Eissa. Showcasing his diverse musical influences, Eissa's compositions create versatile, meditative, and twisted atmospheres throughout the musical experience. Aly Eissa is a composer and oud player based in Cairo, Egypt. He was mentored by legendary composer Abdo Dagher and oud virtuoso Hazem Shahin. Eissa's style is deeply rooted in Egyptian classical and folk traditions, and influenced by various Western genres. Since 2012, Eissa has regularly performed his compositions for audiences in Cairo, offering a meditative musical experience with a touch of originality. One of Eissa's musical approaches is experimentation through a unique trio formation featuring Belgian synthesizer player Jonas Cambien and Egyptian percussionist Ayman Mabrouk. In this trio, Eissa attempts to explore a different sound and space within Arabic music.
