Mehdi Nabti
Born:
Biography by Thom Jurek Mehdi Nabti is a celebrated alto saxophonist, flutist, composer, and author who creates improvised polymodal and polyrhythmic music as part of what he calls the "Afro-Berber continuum," a term of his own invention. He composes and improvises using techniques from the ancient and medieval Berber and sub-Saharan traditions that contain compound adaptations of Sufi trance rhythms and rituals from the Maghreb (Aissawa and Hamadcha) and Afro-Berber and Andalusian melodic modes for a musical evocation of the forgotten and unrecognized history of North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa
