Seffarine is a duo with soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and oud player and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp, supported by master musicians of diverse cultures. The group's sound embraces and extends the rich legacy of Spanish flamenco, classical Persian music and American Jazz. Their exciting performances masterfully combine explosive flamenco footwork, exotic instrumentation and grooving basslines. These diverse backgrounds meld, creating what SoundRoots describes as "an ear-caressing blend of sounds from Spain and North Africa, spiced with a bit of fiery instrumentation and percussion."

Their CD, “De Fez a Jerez,” is listed in the top 20 best world music releases by the Transglobal World Music Charts, a panel of 43 world music experts. For more information, please visit the band’s website at http://www.seffarine.com/.
