Joe's Pub proudly presents a live performance with world-renowned fingerstyle guitarist Pierre Bensusan, who has taken his unique sound to all corners of the globe. The French-Algerian acoustic guitar virtuoso, vocalist and composer is excited to resume his long-awaited cross-USA tour, dropping his new album "Azwan" which is garnering glowing reviews.
Described by the L.A. Times as "one of the most unique and brilliant acoustic guitar veterans in the world music scene today", Pierre's name became synonymous with contemporary acoustic guitar genius, long before the term World Music was invented. He has literally created a style of playing with the ability to make a single guitar sound like an entire band as he brings the audience on a mesmerizing musical journey. And yet, Bensusan is more than what any musician or music lover expects from a guitarist. He is a composer as well as a bilingual and original and improvisational vocalist, with his own scat technique.
Pierre's music transcends genre and time, with an uninhibited sense of musical freedom and expression. His "manner" of playing defies classification - crossing world, classical, jazz, traditional, folk, pop and more. None can be isolated as simply “World Music”, “Celtic”, "Arabic" or “French”.
