Mektoub performs a repertoire of Mediterranean folk-jazz and original music by singer/songwriter Nielo Gaglione, an immigrant to Iowa from Southern France. His style is rooted in influences from reggae, jazz, and musical traditions from North Africa, and his lyrics often speak to values of social progress and love.
Orchestrations by John Rapson and Ryan Smith will guide this magic musical journey
