'GNAWA ELECTRIC LAUNE' is the magical collaboration between Moroccan Gnawa-master (maâlem) Rabii Harnoune and Frankfurt electronic producer V. B. Kühl. Recorded at Achim Sauer's 7V-Studio, collectively Rabii Harnoune & V. B. Kühl 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". Rabii's 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. Kühl 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".
