For his album, Apollo You Sixteen, Karim Baggili — a virtuoso flamenco guitarist and oud player — brings rock energy and flamenco influences into classical Arabic music.

Above all, original, the album blends grooves, electronic textures, and classical elements in the distinctive way he is known for, driven by crunchy oud and richly arpeggiated guitar. Its musical universe is surprising, yet for the artist, it feels like a natural continuation of his journey.
