Mohamed Rouane<\/b>\u00a0(born at\u00a0Belouizdad, Algiers\u00a0in 1968) is an Algerian musician and recording artist, well known in his own country for his performances of flamenco and “Casbah-style jazz” and especially for his use of the\u00a0mondol.<\/sup><\/p>\n

Beyond the business of being a musician, he is a creative force in Algeria, and his mondol playing credited with raising Algerian music to “higher spheres” in world music.\u00a0In a feature article, Aljazeera called him an artist with the ability and mastery to be brilliant, able to render the mondol into a respectable instrument.He calls his style of music Casbah Jazz, and fuses jazz with Algerian musical forms to create something new.He has been popular enough to be a repeat instructor and performer at Algerian music festivals. He is also known as a teacher and guest performer at musical festivals in Algeria and Europe, performing not only in nearby Netherlands and France, but as far away as Poland.<\/p>\n

His music has been described as a fusion of with jazz, performed on an\u00a0Algerian mandole.He has made it his personal mission to change the reputation of the mondol, from an instrument that he couldn’t carry in public on the street because of its low reputation to one known on the world stage as an Algerian instrument, one capable of transmitting both Western and Arab feelings.[4]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0He was inspired by the music of\u00a0Sheikh\u00a0M’Hamed El Anka\u00a0(the “Master of Chaabi”, to whom he dedicated his music) and his mondol playing, and Rouan looks to Chaabi to be part of the soul of his own music.<\/p>\n

Rouane attended the Municipal Conservatory of\u00a0Ghermoul\u00a0in 1992, but gravitated away from\u00a0Andalusian classical music toward flamenco.In 1992 he started the group Triana Algiers, which lasted a few months.He worked at a hotel in Tunisia as an instrumentalist for three years.\u00a0In 1995 he started another group, M\u00e9diterran\u00e9o, in Algiers, playing gypsy-style flamenco on guitar.He had good success with the group and recorded two albums with them.He developed a reputation as being a good singer a well.<\/p>\n

He left M\u00e9diterran\u00e9o in 2000, starting a solo career. Much of this work is performing instrumentals on his mandole, an effort to increase knowledge of the instrument internationally. His Casbah Jazz records feature his playing lead on a mix of tunes, fusing melodies and rhythms from jazz, cha\u00e2bi, tindi (\u00a0music form), andalusian, flamenco, berouali, karkabo and kabyle.<\/p>\n

Common to all his later music is his use of the mandole as a lead instrument. Much of the music he does are instrumentals. Rouane has said repeatedly that his use of the mandole for his music is a tribute to the Chaabi musician El Anka, the musician who helped develop the instrument as it is used today in Algeria. Although Rouane blends different musical forms with jazz, he draws the “soul” of his works from Chaabi for inspiration.<\/p>\n

When his first album came out, He was disappointed to hear it called a work of tourism.His second album was different.[<\/a><\/sup> It was a part of his “project in spiritual music,” in which the story told by his mondol is reflective, moving toward “spiritual purity.”<\/p>\n

His last album was published in 2008.\u00a0In March 2017 he announced in an interview that he was working on a new album.]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0During the music festival at\u00a0Djemila\u00a0(13th Arab Festival of Djemila) in the summer of 2017, he was reunited on stage with\u00a0Selma Kouiret, a singer from his trio M\u00e9diterran\u00e9o. The two also performed together in Algiers in July 2017, her singing and him accompanying with his instrument.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
