Dechert’s newest affinity group hosts a series of events for anyone who wishes to identify with, is affiliated with or has an interest in the region.
In 2024, the Greater Middle Eastern Alliance hosted an evening with Yacine Boulares and Zafer Tawil, two extraordinary musicians whose talents transcended cultural boundaries. Yacine, a French Tunisian master saxophonist and composer, seamlessly blended jazz with North African rhythms, while Zafer, a virtuoso on the oud and violin, brought the rich traditions of Middle Eastern music to life. This unique performance transported the audience through a rich tapestry of sounds, merging the timeless beauty of traditional instruments with contemporary jazz influences.
