If World Music means the fusion of traditional, contemporary, jazz,classical and pop music, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquentWorld Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings then self-taught on the guitar, the originality of his style makes him one of today’sgreatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. Also called “ThePrince of DADGAD”, the Rose d'Or of the Montreux Festival, electedBest Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine!His triple album "Encore" won the Grand Prix of the Independent MusicAwards in the category Best Live Album... Since his first performances in1974 in France, the guitarist has sold half a million albums and giventhousands of concerts around the globe, both solo and throughnumerous collaborations.&nbsp;Pierre Bensusan is an adventurer of unusual lands. His almost “sacred”music is an intimate and orchestral hymn, a solo crossing on a multi-shellLowden guitar subjected to the natural elements with sound moleculesand finger pulp on an ebony fingerboard for open tuning - an unique andtransparent technique, under the fingers of an adventurous pilgrim.“Listening to Pierre's music is rejuvenating. Beside his extraordinarytouch and tone, the notes and melody appeal directly to the tender sideof our human nature”&nbsp;Steve Vai&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“This is beautiful... Pierre is one of the GREATS!!!”&nbsp;Tommy Emmanuel Cgp.&nbsp;With only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich,affecting voice – Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand itback to you restored and renewed. As he did to mine tonight. A truegiant.”&nbsp;James Volpe Rotondi (former senior editor at Guitar Player Magazine)
