"Currently I'm often in New York, but actually I'm everywhere & nowhere. I couldn't go any further back
home in Tunisia. I grew up in a society, where everyth-
ing evolves around eating - to be more precise: Couscous
This world consists of the Café and a little bit beyond.
I love Couscous, but I'm not satisfied. I like to eat Sushi
and listen to new sounds. That's why I had to make a
move and haven't settled down since." (Dhafer Youssef)
Dhafer Youssef returns to the city, where he has 'settled
down' for the longest. The various programs will show,
what Dhafer means by "musical nomad". Welcome back !
