Kuhl - Gnawa Electric Laune","description":"\u003cp\u003e'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 \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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tru Thoughts","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Gnawa Electric Laune Tru Thoughts","offer_id":49002102358324,"sku":"TRUT391.2","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/3819122-2568591.jpg?v=1777566230","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/rabii-harnoune-v-b-kuhl-gnawa-electric-laune_aec-trut391-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
