El Gusto is a Franco-Irish-Algerian documentary film realised and produced by Safinez Bousbia, released on January 11, 2012 in France, which centers on the reunion of Jewish and Muslim members of an Algerian music group.[2]
Background
[edit | edit source]El Gusto chronicles the story of an orchestra of Jewish and Muslim Chaabi musicians torn apart by war for 50 years, and reunited for an exceptional concert.[3][4][5] The film took seven years to produce.[2]
Music
[edit | edit source]A studio album, Abdel Hadi Halo & The El Gusto Orchestra of Algiers, was produced by Damon Albarn in Algeria[6] for his own Honest Jon's label.[7] It was distributed by EMI in 2007.
The musical supervision of the film, production of its album and the continuation of the adventure was then provided by Sodi.
