GUELPH – Pierre Bensusan’s 2020 North American tour was in full swing when the pandemic shut it down causing him to return home to France.
Now, he’s making up for lost time with an extensive North American tour. After releasing Azwan, an album about our oneness and inter-connectivity in the midst of a unifying global crisis, the world-renowned French-Algerian acoustic guitar master, vocalist and composer returns to the USA and Canada, completing the second leg of his 2022 North American Tour.
In the middle of this route will be a stop in Guelph, where on the evening of Oct. 13, Silence Guelph will proudly welcome Bensusan back to the stage for the first time in five years.
Throughout his career, Bensusan has confirmed his place as an acoustic visionary who combines sensibility with shadings of ethereal jazz, pop, world music and classical melodies, free and fusion styles. Born in 1957 in French Algeria, Bensusan released his debut album Près de Paris in 1975 at the age of 17. It won Le Grand Prix du Disque at the Montreux Festival in Switzerland the next year. More albums and extensive touring followed, as well as a recording contract with Columbia in the US. To learn more about Bensusan visit: pierrebensusan.com.
