Mahmoud Chouki is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist who plays music from his native Morocco blended with influences from Southern Spain, the Middle East, Latin America and American jazz. His instruments include classical guitar, oud, banjo and the Algerian mandole. He lives in New Orleans and plays engagements around the world.
The mission of the Danny Barker Banjo and Guitar Festival is to showcase and highlight the many contributions and accomplishments of NEA Jazz Master Danny Barker: musician, singer, songwriter, educator, raconteur extraordinaire and author – who played guitar and banjo with many top jazz artists over the course of his 70 year plus career – and served as a mentor to numerous young New Orleans artists who have since come to prominence, including Wynton Marsalis, Herlin Riley, Leroy Jones, Gregg Stafford and Dr. Michael White. (Admission to the festival is $15 for adults, $10 for children under 12 & military.)
