"'Cirque du Soleil of the soul'--Canadian Guitar Festival"
Born in Algeria and raised in France, Pierre Bensusan is an absolutely original acoustic guitarist. His instrumental and vocal compositions are powerful, poetic, and intricate, and his fingerstyle picking can spin the musical traditions of the whole world into colorful new threads. "I take risks on stage," Bensusan says. "It's my way of incorporating danger into my life." In the words of the Washington Post, "Bensusan mixes folk, jazz, ethnic, blues, and Celtic elements in ways that suggest a truly borderless world." A festival veteran in many countries, Bensusan is even better close-up and personal on a stage like that of The Ark. He's just been voted 2008's Best World Guitarist by the readers of Guitar Player magazine.
