Kanj Workshop
Kanj is an accomplished kanoun virtuoso with both classical and modern repertoire. His advanced technique and deep feelings influenced by many musical cultures (Lebanese, Egyptian, Greek, Spanish and Turkish) bring wealth of knowledge to the variety of styles he performs. One can even say that with him the Kanoun becomes the piano of oriental music. He pushed the instrument to the extreme by playing while standing and with a wireless microphone, which enables him to have a full interaction with his audience (a 1st for kanoun players). Adding to that his contagious smile, and strong stage presence, he surely knows how to attract that audience.
He has performed in several prestigious halls such as the Olympia de Paris accompanying many great artists.
Today Kanj pushes his boundaries even further by developing his “Workshop”. Known to be an innovator on his instrument, his new project will take you through the magic of the Andalusia and Tunisian vibes in a new setup inspired by a painter’s workshop as he plays on 2 different kanouns, each placed on a tripod. That led him to develop a new technique, giving his show richness in sound.
