Who is this French Guitar Player/Artist?

Guitar player from France. With Jewish roots. Plays fusion and his name is.......?

There's this ~awesome~ guitar player whose cassette I once proudly owned, whose name I totally forgot other than Benasoulin maybe...something... His music is reminiscent of Pat Metheny but with more of a Mediterranean/Far Eastern vibe to it. I remember I once looked him up on the net and it said he hailed from France, was self-taught and he had Jewish roots. Other than this -

Does anyone know who this talented guy is? Thanks in advance for any leads. (I tried every kind of google equation - no deal)

Best answer: Pierre Bensusan? I got him from the Wikipedia list of French guitarists.

Glad to have helped! YouTube is a bit slow for me at the moment, I'll check the video out later.

Lovely song. Something about it reminded me of Richard Thompson, probably at least partly because of the DADGAD tuning.
