Rihla takes us around the theme of travel inspired by the wanderings of the famous medieval traveler Ibn Battuta, born and died in Tangier in the fourteenth century.
Ibn Battuta, as compared with Marco Polo wrongly (driven primarily by commercial motives), especially for a perpetual traveling spiritual renewal, a boundless passion for knowledge.
Ibn Battuta, a geographer, the wanderer, do not hesitate to take the waves to reach out to the Other.
Abid Bahri, Molenbeek musician and composer, is the inspiration behind various musical projects including Luthomania, Qayna and Qantara, projects designed to reinvigorate the Middle Eastern music. For
Rihla he worked with Samir Bendimered, composer, arranger polytalent who excels in both the Arab-Andalusian repertoire in classical or contemporary works.
