Michel Sajrawy Trio, Israel

Michel Sajrawy – a guitarist and a composer from Nazareth, Israel. At the age of nine he started taking guitar lessons. From 1990 to 1993, he studied and obtained a diploma in engineering. In 1995, he moved to London, UK, where he studied at the Musicians Institute G.I.T., and eventually graduated in music composition from the London College of Music. Michel Sajrawy found a way to blend the sound of his electric guitar with delicate synthesis of jazz fusion and essential Middle Eastern touch. Critics call him the “Barenboim of jazz guitar.” Michel Sahraoui’s musical prowess lies in combining the jazz of Western culture with the exquisite rhythms of the Middle East and thus takes his audience on a beautiful and divine journey.
