After 20 years of performing exclusively outside of their homeland, playing shows in more than 20 countries including at the Abu Dhabi Festival and London's Shubbak Festival, Asil Ensemble performed in Cairo on Thursday for the first show since their formation in 2003.
The concert was held at the Sultan Al-Ghuri Complex, the 16th-century mausoleum, built by one of the last of the Mamluk rulers, Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh Al-Ghuri.

Into The Silence Zone,
In literature and in history, all the people known for their wisdom were known above all for their silence. One can easily find out in these books that this prophet or that philosopher was silent most of the time and spoke only when it was necessary to speak.
What happens in these moments of silence? What do we hear? Do we digest what we have heard before?
Do we think about them? Or do we listen again from the inside, as if they were passing from the inside of the ear to the outside in a reverse movement, like a current in the ocean?
In silence, I usually hear melodies or sounds that I do not recognise from memory. A few times, however, I hear melodies as if from a phonograph repeating the same record. Sometimes it works more than a phonograph, sometimes it is direct, sometimes deep. Sometimes close, sometimes distant.
Compare a poem sung in two melodies by two singers from different decades. But not only the melodies, but also the quality of the records, the progress over time, the technology and the differences between record companies in sound.
Differences between two dialects in the performance of a piece of music, Turkish and Arabic performances of the same piece. Is it really the same piece after these performances?
In this work, I try to reflect this inner hearing that has no order or reason. Have a dialogue with my oud, or let us say, with my idea of how my interpretation or vision of these waves comes together.
A dialogue between memory and recollection that does not aim to show what is listed inside, but to try to let the listener imagine him/herself, to perhaps discover what can be heard inside each listener.

Enchantment guaranteed!
