Shems Bendali is a name that is increasingly resonating in the world of jazz. This Franco-Algerian trumpeter, at the crossroads of two cultures, brings a unique freshness to contemporary jazz by incorporating Oriental inspirations.
Having grown up in France while being of Algerian descent, he has developed a dual identity that is reflected in his music. His compositions are both a tribute to his roots and a testament to his love for Afro-American music. For Shems, the essential thing is not just to merge different styles but to achieve an authentic balance where each note and melody naturally integrates, creating harmony and continuity.
What sets him apart is his commitment to delivering a message of humanity on stage. In an increasingly polarized world where culture is more important than ever, Shems Bendali strives to show that cultural differences are in no way an obstacle to living together. On stage, he passionately communicates this idea, sharing his own journey, inspirations, and desire to create a space where everyone feels welcome.
Each performance tells a story, often inspired by personal experiences, travels, or even mystical Sufi influences.
