Dhafer Youssef was born in Téboulba (a small village of coastal Tunisia); his grandfather was a muezzin. He calls the radio "the most important school" for him.[1]

He also works in avant-garde and world music where he has been nominated for awards.[3]

He has released nine albums of his own[4] and created notable work with Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu and the Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset.
