ZAFÎF

Journey from Arabia to the enchanted Africa

Gnawa ceremonies - the fruit of encounters between sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb -  lead to trances with their haunting rhythms and enchanting dances. This programme offers a chance to discover both its traditional and contemporary paths.

First up: the Jill Gnawa ensemble introduces gnawa heritage. In the second half, Zafif offers a contemporary take. This project fulfills the deep need for dialogue and exchange between the musicians.
