Ammar 808 live at Sønderho Forsamlingshus, Fanø Free Folk Festival FFFF 20240727

Ammar 808 (TN) Sofyann Ben Youssef AKA Ammar808 is the mastermind behind the critically acclaimed albums “Maghreb United” and “Global Control / Invisible Invasion”. With a thirst for yet unheard musical blends, he has travelled a singular journey that made him the godfather of the Tunisian alternative and electronic scene. Bred as a musicologist in the corridors of Tunis’ Music Institute, he specializes in Arabic and Indian music. As an avid listener, he strives for bridges between oriental and occidental music. On his recent album “Super Stambeli” he plunges his roots into the depth of African animist voodoo, within the realm of supernatural entities that strive to experiment human nature through the Stambeli ritual. Stambeli is a Tunisian musical therapeutic ritual that was implanted by afro-descendant communities. During the ceremonies, music, dance and chants are blended so as for some participants to reach the alternate state of trance while they are possessed by super natural entities. We’re excited to bring Ammar 808’s trance inducing music to Sønderho Forsamlingshus when he closes this year’s Fanø Free Folk Festival with a hypnotic dance party.
