Album cover for Aloof by Ahmad Hani

Aloof

Ahmad Hani

About the album

Having Turkish-Egyptian family roots and being raised in Dubai at the Arabian-Persian Gulf then moving to Cairo at the Mediterranean and the Red Sea were enough reasons to create a musician like Ahmad.. saturated and familiar with varied cultures.

Starting playing the bass at the age of 20 was kind of a blessing for him as the self taught musician started to explore the instrument and finding his own way of playing and expressing his musical ideas and life experiences that he already had!

And by travelling the world as he performed more than 5000 concerts, TV shows and workshops in 30 countries and currently living between Turkey and Europe, Ahmad’s diversified musical ideas were pied with more different colors and flavors.

Artists

It breathes and is characterized by a depth that is unusual for today. It almost seems as if [Ahmad Hani] could establish a direct connection to the emotional world of his listeners. Amazing.
