Maurice Louca is one of the most interesting figures in Egypt's flourishing music scene. Accompanied by the Lebanese trio A, Louca presents his latest LP The Luck Hour - praised by the Guardian as „transcendentally beautiful“. The all-acoustic concert features unconventional instruments and sounds, such as pipes and garden hoses converted into trumpets, guitars adapted to the scales of maqam, and strings strung with clothespins. Improvised music meets Egyptian chaabi meets psychedelic folk.
