Jacco Muller, Victor Ghannam

The album “Alhambra by Night” by Jacco Muller and Victor Ghannam offers a mesmerizing musical journey inspired by the majestic Alhambra in Granada, Andalusia. By blending flamenco guitar, oud, and percussion, the Spanish and Middle Eastern influences naturally come together. The listener is taken on a sonic voyage along the rippling waters of the ‘River Darro’, the Latin rhythms of ‘Blue Sky Rumba’, the Mediterranean Sea in ‘Where the Sea Meets the Sun’, and the expansive deserts of the Middle East in the mystical ‘Mirror Images’ and ‘Roses of the Desert’. “Alhambra by Night” is released on vinyl. The tracks are also available to a wider audience via Spotify and YouTube.

Jacco Muller is renowned for his virtuosity on the flamenco guitar. He graduated in 1995 from the Rotterdam Conservatory under the guidance of Paco Peña. Jacco’s musical curiosity has led him to explore various styles and cultures. Since 2009, he has collaborated with Victor Ghannam, including on his album ‘Viento del Desierto’, where flamenco and Arabic music seamlessly merge. Victor Ghannam is a self-taught musician from the United States, specializing in the oud and qanun—traditional Arabic instruments. Ghannam is known for his masterful improvisations, which combine technical brilliance with deep emotion.

With their interplay on “Alhambra by Night”, you will find yourself transported to Andalusian courtyards, Moorish palaces, and starry desert nights.
