Saha Gnawa explores North African trance-like states through its intuitive interplay allowing ancestral rhythms and melodies to drift into unknown territories. Refined via late-night sessions at LunÀtico in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, what emerges is both an authentic performance of centuries-old Moroccan Gnawa tradition and a bold step into new dimensions of sound—where traditional song forms dissolve into ecstatic dance tracks laced with subtle electronics.
Often referred to as “Sufi Blues,” Gnawa is rooted in Morocco’s ancient history. Gnawa music is revered and treasured throughout Morocco for its soulfulness and healing power.
