style
Radio Tarifa plays “pan-Mediterranean world music ” with traditional instruments, rarely amplified electrically, using elements from Spanish, Arabic, Sephardic and medieval music. The name of the group suggests this by referring to Tarifa , Spain's closest city to Morocco .
Most of the pieces are composed and written by myself. You use instruments from various musical worlds, e.g. B. from the Orient the darbouka , the ney or the oud , the krummhorn or the Indian transverse flute bansuri , but also the electric guitar or the Hammond organ .
