Described as “the guitar given free reign to play itself,” French-Algerian acoustic guitar legend Pierre Bensusan is a world-renowned master of the DADGAD tuning, blending folk, jazz, classical, and world music into a truly singular voice. A trailblazer on the global stage for over four decades, Bensusan has captivated audiences with his emotive playing, rich vocals, and genre-defying compositions.
Winner of the Independent Music Award for his live triple album Encore and voted Best World Music Guitarist by Guitar Player readers, Pierre’s influence spans generations—from Michael Hedges naming a piece after him to collaborations with artists like Donny Osmond and praise from Steve Vai, Tommy Emmanuel, and Mark Knopfler.
Often called “The Prince of DADGAD,” Pierre’s performances are intimate journeys filled with innovation, depth, and raw beauty—an artist whose music transcends borders and touches the soul.
