Considered as one of the greatest guitar players of the 21st century, French-Algerian guitarist, vocalist and composer Pierre Bensusan has been wowing audiences for decades with his exceptional guitar playing which Café Latino host Laura Fernandez calls “meditative and transcendent.”
2025 marks Bensusan’s 50 years in music so he’s embarking on an 50th Anniversary tour around the world. He stopped by Café Latino during his tour stop in Toronto at Hugh’s Room Live to talk about his career, background and the legacy he would like to live behind.
Bensusan continues his 50th Anniversary tour with stops in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and throughout the US. You can visit his website at www.pierrebensusan.com to learn more.
