The Musicians of El Darbak ensemble

Djamel Mellouk

From 1994, he travels through Egypt and falls in love with its arts. In 1999, he co-founds, with the choreographer Gemms, the Mille et Une Nuits formation, a unique group made up of seven female dancers and five percutionnists united in their common passion for egyptian dance and music.
