Jun 09 Julien Weiss: when the myth became a man

I go to Julien Weiss overwhelmed by the weight of his name: essential reference of the best music learned Arabic, French-born but resident for three decades in Syria, in a palace of the fourteenth century Mamluk, surrounded by Sufi teachers of Islam that he professes. Their conversations are about astrology, medieval princes, musicology, and photos of their albums never smiles. I walk as if to meet Leonardo da Vinci… ET or. But the smile is the first thing that gives me an interview for fresh start, full of winks, of sharp humor and friendly.
