Without further ado, we embark on a joyful, festive journey into the sands of the Sahara with a unique and mixed style that we might call Gnawa Funk. Gnawa rhythms, Berber, Arabic, French words. Groove, Chaâbi melodies, funk and Afrobeat arrangements that make you want to move, dance, smile, laugh and have fun.
