Born at Halfouine in the Tunis Medina on October 20th 1957, Anouar began playing the Oud at the Tunis National Music Conservatory and continued his training with the maestro Ali Sriti. Indeed, Sriti took him under his wing and initiated Anouar to the Arabian art music, the Maqam, and to the art of improvisation, the Taqsim. By now Anouar was already confirming his double vocation: to re-establish the Oud as a solo instrument, the very symbol of Arabian music, while breaking with conventional tradition in his compositions by integrating elements of Jazz as well as other Mediterranean and Oriental musical traditions.
