Rabii Harnoune & V.B.Kuhl - Gnawa Electric Laune - [Vinyl]

GNAWA ELECTRIC LAUNE is the magical collaboration between Moroccan Gnawa-master (ma�lem) Rabii Harnoune and Frankfurt electronic producer V.B.K�hl. Recorded at Achim Sauers 7V-Studio, collectively Rabii Harnoune & V.B. K�hl have produced an LP which represents entirely new territory, building a bridge from old to new, from Africa to Europe, and from to person to person. This melange of traditional North African Gnawa music and modern club sounds results in a fascinating debut, cross-cultural friction which is electric and otherworldly. Gnawa music was exclusively played by families whose parents came from Sub-Saharan or Central African tribes to Morocco in colonial times Rabii explains, it was rare to be able to listen to Gnawa music on radio, so I started to collect rare live recordings. Rabiis mastery at the Guembri, a three-string lute and Gnawa singing (a central aspect to the culture), would lead him to play world-class festivals in Essaouira, Fes, Marrakesh, and Casablanca all spiritual centres for the genre. V.B.K�hl realised his own musical vision and ambition when he inherited his first ghettoblaster (boombox) and bought a four-track recorder: rhythm is deep in me, and although music is not my profession, the passion never stopped.
