The album is named after the gate that connects the old and new cities of Tunis, and Allam's compositions build a bridge between old musics and new by building on rhythms, metres, idioms and intonations that the jazz listener would not expect to hear in a jazz context.
Tunisian Born, New York-based jazz bassist Marwan Allam is our musical guest.
