Jan Wouter, Live in Tunisia, Pic - Houcem Boudaya
The album issued on the Mountain Records label, features songs written by Jan Wouter specially for his quarter tone guitar. The instrument is a 1980s Fender Strat rebuilt by an Amsterdam luthier, Gijs de Wit, to accommodate the Arabic scales used in the recordings.
Jan Wouter has referred to north African music in his previous albums but until now not had the comfort of a guitar able to produce the required notes. We are Connected is described as Maghreb Rock and is a blend of European and African music.
