SUMMARY:Sunday\, July 10th:  Mahmoud Chouki
DESCRIPTION:Mahmoud “Mood” Chouki (Morocco\, 1984) is a master guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer currently living and working in New Orleans. Mood’s art draws together music from several different international contexts to explore how music may speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and Jazz from the United States. Integrating sounds and rhythms from many different cultures\, Chouki combines classical guitar with instruments such as the loutar\, a traditional instrument of the Middle Atlas region of Morocco; the sintir\, a Sub-Saharan instrument from the Sahel region (Mali); the oud\, an oriental lute; the Algerian mandole\, a steel-string fretted instrument resembling an elongated mandolin; the Bağlama saz\, a Turkish long necked bowl-lute; the banjo\, and a variety of percussion instruments.  \n\n\n\nFrom the age of eight\, Chouki trained at the Conservatory of Larache in northern Morocco and continued on at the National Conservatory in Rabat\, with a focus in music theory and classical guitar. At the age of eighteen\, he won first prize in the International Guitar Competition in St. Esteban del Puerto\, Spain. Soon after graduating\, Chouki embarked on a journey throughout Morocco with a keen interest in traditional instruments of the Maghreb and Africa.
