Mohamed Errebbaa is a Moroccan Gnawa master musician, a highly regarded and unique practitioner of this tradition active in the UK.
Mohamed’s group of jazz, soul & Afro-funk musicians present Gnawa music in a contemporary international context. A night of global music with hypnotic, bass-heavy dance grooves, Afro-jazz brass and soulful vocals drawing on Gnawa’s deep trance power, an ancient tradition of religious observation through ritual poetry, dance & rhythmic music.
"These musicians took the audience on a trip in which time stopped, the insistent rhythms and riffing strings filling the venue with an energy that was thrilling" – Mark Kidel
