Gnawa Manchester: Moroccan Trance Fusion Music

Gnawa Manchester brings the hypnotic trance rhythms of Morocco’s Gnawa tradition to UK audiences – music that’s far more than a genre, rooted in spiritual performance and centuries of cultural history. Led by Zakaryae on the guembri (bass guitar), the band delivers a modern fusion sound, weaving Sub-Saharan sacred influences with touches of jazz and blues through an energetic mix of instruments. Expect deep grooves, call-and-response spirit, and an immersive, mystical journey that lifts the room!
