A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
About "SAWAYE"
Gnaoua is a Moroccan musical style in which trance plays a very important role. Gnaoua finds its place at the crossroads of Berber and sub-Saharan African peoples, the Tuareg.
Far beyond the mysterious depth of the Gnaoua tradition, Sofaz draws on other cultural and artistic traditions, enabling its musicians to blend their diversity for a genuine creative exchange and dialogue of cultures.
Sofaz expresses with devastating conviction a rare music, a cult of the collective through the percussion of Maloya and the original Guembri - the essential string instrument of the Gnaoua.
