BOULILA & FRIENDS
Les Incontournables Series, presented by ICI MUSIQUE
Gnawa. Ritual, music, dance. Inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Gnawa represents the mystical, ancestral memory of sub-Saharan Africa. Deeply rooted in tradition, it is carried on the waves of the guembri’s bass tones and the percussive clacking of the qraqeb, and amplified by liberating trance-inducing rhythms that are both festive and healing. Winner of the 2020 Syli d’or de la Musique du Monde Award, Boulila reinvigorates the Gnawa genre with a combination of guitar, sax, bass, piano and drums, revealing the African spirit of Western popular music.
