Coming from a family of musicians, he was immersed in music from a very young age and had the chance to try his hand at several instruments before settling on the bass, his instrument of choice. And today, drawing on all these experiences and the years spent making music with his father and uncle, he is pursuing a career across three continents: North America, Europe, and Africa. Abdel Grooz will close out the Moza\u00efk series on Thursday, May 28, at Le Minist\u00e8re, and for the occasion, he will be joined by the best musicians in town, including drummer Donald Auguste Dogbo and trumpeter R\u00e9mi Cormier, as well as other big names.
