Mohamed Masmoudi

About

The artist

Mohamed Masmoudi is a Montréal oud player, composer, multi-instrumentalist, educator, and artistic director. He studied at the Conservatoire de musique de Sfax in Tunisia before completing classical music studies at the Université de Moncton. His current artist pages at the Centre des musiciens du monde document ongoing oud teaching, Arabic ensemble work, creative residencies, and leadership of Masmoudi Quartette. Artist-controlled Bandcamp identifies Montréal, Quebec, while current Quebec cultural and professional records confirm an active practice in the province. Masmoudi Quartette brings his oud together with Guillaume Martineau on piano, Gabriel Paquin-Buki on clarinet, and Rémi-Jean LeBlanc on double bass. The ensemble toured Saskatoon, Canmore, and Calgary in early 2026, appeared at the launch of Salle Bourgie's 2026-2027 season, and is scheduled there for November 2026. These current activities establish an active Canadian music practice. Masmoudi's work draws on Arabic and Mediterranean musical traditions, jazz improvisation, Western classical music, klezmer, tango, and North African rhythm. His 2023 album Villes éternelles presents nine original compositions through the Masmoudi Quartette. The exact Spotify identity 692ZzsavmfzFaWyB4x7682 contains three principal containers available in Canada: the album Villes éternelles and the singles Nomadisme and Labyrinthe. The exact Apple Music identity 400984848 and artist-controlled Bandcamp catalog match that release set without collision. Masmoudi also co-founded Sokoun Trio, composed music for film and lyric projects, and has worked as an oud, double-bass, and classical-guitar performer. Villes éternelles was a 2024 Félix finalist for World Music Album of the Year and a Canadian Folk Music Award finalist for Instrumental Group of the Year.
