Simone Horus is a young Roman multi-instrumentalist specializing in Arab-Turkish darbuka, the percussion of North Afria and Middle-East.
He approaches to the study of percussion in 2001, devoting himself to music not as a hobby, passion or work but just as a constant status of his life in a purely instinctive and spontaneous way. His first masters were Egyptians, in particular he remembers the great "golfinger" Mohammed Abdalla, who followed intensively for several years.
In 2005, with the arrival of YouTube, he discovered the Turkish darbuka technique and began a broader study, leaving Italy for 7 years turning Europe, North Africa and Turkey, to improve his technique more and more, until the meeting that changed him permanently, with the master Bunyamin Olguncan in Istanbul. In this city he found Sufist music and its spiritual value, and a new technique that has required another 6 years of intense study to master.
