The illustration shows Kaddour Srarfi in full action, handling his violin with the mastery that characterized him. Founder of the "Firqat Al-Khulud" orchestra, he is one of the leading figures of modern composition in Tunisia.
Srarfi was a virtuoso who knew how to integrate the structures of Western classical music into Tunisian melody. This stamp highlights his pioneering role in orchestration and his monumental contribution to the evolution of Tunisian art music during the post-independence period.
