Mohamed Amine El Korchi, a talented young qanûn player, also takes lessons together with his sister Nawel El Korchi at the World Music & Dance Academy of Muziekpublique. He is not only a student of Souhad Najem but he also participates in the Turkish Ensemble led by Tristan Driessens. Last week (21-23 / 03/2019) Tristan Driessens and Mohamed Amine performed during the first edition of the lute festival in Casablanca.
