Fanfara Station is a trio project with live looping that blends the strength of a wind orchestra, electronics and the rhythms and chants of the Maghreb. Inspired by the memory of the band of Marzouk's father, Fanfara Station celebrates the epic of the Migrant peoples of the Mediterranean, the musical cultures of the African diaspora and the flows that have always united the Middle East with the Maghreb, Europe and the Americas. A dance party created live by just three musicians and two loop stations used to overdub the tracks and manipulate the acoustic and electronic sounds. The instruments on stage are many: Dof, bendir, darbuka that intertwine with trumpet, trombone, clarinet, the three Tunisian winds: nay, mizued and zocra and electronic instruments such as Synths and Drum Machine. In 2019 Fanfara Station won the prestigious "Andrea Parodi" Official selection award: Sziget 2019, Womex 2020, Global Toronto 2021, Global Music Match 2021. In October 2021 the new single NAGRAN was released, the first preview of their next album in exit on Garrincha Dischi (Garrincha GOGO). Line Up: Marzouk Mejri: voice, percussion, Tunisian winds, loops Charles Ferris: trumpet, trombone, loops Ghiaccioli e Branzini: electronics and programming
