No Blues

NO Blues is a Dutch band, founded in 2004, that combines Oriental roots music and American folk blues. In 2004 Rob Kramer – artistic director of Productiehuis Oost-Nederland – invited three string virtuosos for a three-day session that should result in one joint concert. The spontaneously developed synergy between Anne-Maarten Van Heuvelen (bass), Ad Van Meurs (guitar) and Haytham Safia (u’d – Arabic lute) lead to hundreds of shows and four NO blues albums. In 2007 NO blues becomes a quintet with the advent of Sudanese percussionist أسامة مليجي (Osama Meleegi) and vocalist and producer Ankie Keultjes. NO blues Read more on Last.fm.
