Morocco's leading Gnaoua masters, representing the major Gnaoua centers of Essaouira and Marrakech, will present an unprecedented performance of this entrancing and mystical music. They include Mustapha Bakbou and Mahmoud Guinea, among others. Originating in sub-Saharan Africa, the
music serves as both a prayer and a celebration of life with strong, distinctive rhythmic beats and acrobatic dancing.
The master musicians will be accompanied by Hassan Hakmoun, a Moroccan-American Gnaoua musician and innovative performing artist who will bring contemporary elements from funk, hip-hop, and reggae to further ignite this classic musical tradition.
