This duo brings together the hypnotic power of Gnawa trance music and desert blues to create a unique sound that lifts the spirits and makes you want to move!
Justin Adams, the venerable UK electric guitarist is most known for his work with Jah Wobble’s Invaders of the Heart, to collaborations with Robert Plant, Tinariwen, Rachid Taha, and Juldeh Camara, his connection with the trance music of North Africa has always been an integral part of his sound.
This new project sees him team up with Mohamed Errebbaa, who began performing with traditional Sufi brotherhoods in Rabat, Morocco, aged ten and received the title of Maalem (master of the Gnawa tradition) in his 20s. His initiation into the Gnawa tradition took 10 years. Gnawa music connects elements of the Arab music of the North and the music of sub-Saharan Africa with Sufi mysticism.
