Gnawa Blues All Stars

Live Gnawa Music

Are you ready to experience live high energy Gnawa music from the heart of Morocco?

The Gnawa Blues All Stars play traditional Gnawa (sacred trance music from Morocco) and age trance, blues, jazz, reggae & afro beat. They continuously push new boundaries fusing Gnawa with music from countries such as Gambia, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, India, Japan, Venezuela and the Caribbean. 

Simo Lagnawi, the ambassador of Gnawa culture in the UK has been featured on radios and in magazines around the world. They have performed at a host of festivals including Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Latitude and Boomtown.

The deep and irresistible grooves of north African Gnawa stretch beyond their home turf and become acquainted with the sounds of west Africa, South America and Asia. Simo continuously pushes new boundaries fusing Gnawa with music from countries such as Gambia, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, India, Japan, Venezuela and the Caribbean.
