Dounia
Four musicians, from various artistic backgrounds, came together in 1996 and formed Dounia.
The desire to explore more profoundly the panorama of the World Music began to evolve from their live appearances.
Considering the backgrounds and the ideals of the members, Dounia centre their musical project on a predominant acoustic base giving each individual instrument the privilege to express, through its own timbre, the fascination and suggestion which are part of the world, its traditions and the evolution of all of the musicians who are part of it.
Dounia blends the peculiar middleoriental voice of Faisal Taher with a special amalgam of melodies, harmonies and rythmns from all over the world.
The result exceeds any form of contamination creating Dounia's little world where, each sound is given importance, even a meagre chord. Thus causing a surge of emotion for the listener, letting them feel free in this open and interactive listening space: imagination.
Dounia have continued with their musical and artistic path, which is evident from the release of their first cd “New World” (Altrosud/il manifesto/Officina - 2001), and from their live concerts in Italy and abroad. On stage their performances are poetic and suggestive.
They are a determined group with a clear vision, that is to produce music which reaches every single member of their audience. In concert, music is taken from “New World”, from the new cd Monkey, and from traditional middleoriental music but interpreted by the unique sound of Dounia. Read more on Last.fm.
