Sofian Ben Youssef, a Tunisian synth player/producer, has been active as a central figure in popular groups such as Ker Assouf and Bargou 08. Furthermore, he has demonstrated an overwhelming presence by participating in works by Acid Arab and Sabri Mosbaha. His latest work from his most cherished solo project, Amar 808, in 2020 is an ambitious work aiming to modernize South Indian classical music, Carnatic music, a concept he had been developing for some time.
