Ancient-to-Future Hot Psychedelic Gnawa Blues from Bab L' Bluz, In-Studio
Soundcheck | Apr 28, 2025
Bab L’ Bluz is a French-Moroccan band playing a distinctive band of rock, one that’s built on the sounds of North and West African music, and on the Blues. The band was born from the dream of propelling Guembri (the Gnawa's guitar) on the international music scene of contemporary music, and has expanded to include electric mandole and electric ribab. They’ve released two albums on Peter Gabriel’s Real World record label, the most recent of which is called Swaken – kind of a “Losing yourself to find yourself” trance state, (Bandcamp's Swaken liner notes.) Bab L’ BLuz plays their “Hot Psychedelic Gnawa Blues!”, in-studio.
Set list: 1."Ila Mata" 2."Imazighen" 3."IWAIWA FUNK"
