'She was my first school of music', says Ghalia Benali. At age four she listened indefatiguably to 'Al Atlal' by the great Egyptian diva, probably partly fascinated by the hypnotic turning of the LP... Now she pays a tribute to Oum Khaltoum at the festival. Ghalia Benali is accompanied by Moufadhel Adhoum (üd), Vincent Noiret (double bass) and Azzedine Jazouli (Arabic percussion).
