Anouar Brahem ni mtaalamu wa oud kutoka Tunisia anayejulikana kwa uwezo wake wa kuunganisha mila za muziki ya Kiarabu za karne nyingi na utanzu wa Magharibi na jazz. Taratibu yake ya kucheza zimefichwa na mistari ya melodia ya kutafakari na kosa la huzuni ambayo kwa wakati mmoja inaheshimu kumbukumbu za mila za zamani na inakubali uhuru wa kukamatia kwa haraka.
Programu, inayoitwa 'After the Last Sky', inachukua jina lake kutoka shairi la Mwanasimu Muhammad Darwish anayouliza 'Ndege huweza kuruka wapi baada ya anga la mwisho?' Muziki ina vipande vya chamber vya upole kwa oud, cello, piano na contrabass ambavyo vinachunguza swali hili la kimaanisha na mitindo yake katika nyakati ngumu.
Ingawa inatokana na modi ya jadi ya muziki wa Kiarabu, Brahem amesadikiwa kutafuta mazungumzo na ulimwengu mzima, akichukua msukumo kutoka kwa kulturu tofauti nyingi. Kikundi cha kimataifa kinajumuisha mwenye contrabass Mats Eilertsen na mpianisti Django Bates, akifungwa kwenye mradi huu na violonselisti Anja Lechner.
Konserti inafanyika katika Amphi d'O huko Montpellier Ijumaa tarehe 11 Septemba 2026 saa 21:30, kama sehemu ya Festival Arabesques.
