B. Kühl. Recorded at Achim Sauer's 7V-Studio, collectively Rabii Harnoune \u0026amp; 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\". 1 Forest2 Yomali3 Light Out Night On4 Traveller5 Soyo6 Invitation To Dance7 Arabian Echo8 Sowiyi9 Baniya10 Negsha11 Zid l'Mal12 Jalaba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rabii Harnoune","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39903376801863,"sku":"40438436","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3819122-2568591_020875da-2ac0-406c-9d38-4da0df216005.jpg?v=1711480409","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/harnoune-rabii-kuhl-v-b-gnawa-electric-laune-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
