Kantara’s origins lie in Tunis, where multi-instrumentalist Brennan Gilmore met oudist and composer Riadh Fehri in 2005. Two strangers from half a world away brought together by circumstance found something shared in the rhythms and recollections of their past. Together the two have worked to create a unique synthesis of two distinct musical traditions, those of Appalachian and Tunisian music.
