A bit of background...

My name is Fauzia Benedetti, I am the daughter of renowned jazz pianist Vince Benedetti. After almost 30 years of living in Spain, I returned to my home country, Switzerland. Over several years I have had the privilege of working with amazing musicians from Morocco, Spain, Greece and Lebanon, learning from each and every one of them. They have given me the opportunity to grow, both as a manager, and as a musician. Since my return, I have continued with these collaborations, presenting projects that bring together musicians from the Mediterranean region, and have since created this space to promote these amazing artists in Switzerland, and beyond. Check out our bands and soloists, and don't hesitate to reach out! The passion for what we do is first and foremost, and this shows in each performance...

From the melodic melismas of Al Andalus, to the passion of flamenco, the bewitching melodies of Greece, and the fascinating rhythms of mediterranean folk music, there is something for everyone.
