Mohamed Errebbaa & Gnawa Bristol
Celebration Finale Event – Radical Pilgrimage: The Saffron Trail

In partnership with Saffron Hall and Essex Cultural Diversity Project

Join us to celebrate the end of our first Radical Pilgrimage: The Saffron Trail with the soaring vocals and bass-heavy grooves of Moroccan Gnawa Master, gimbri (three-string guitar) player, Mohamed Errebbaa & Gnawa Bristol.

Immerse yourself in the intoxicating world of ancient Gnawa songs backed by trumpet solos, delicate harp and flute; African drum-kit beats, minimalist jazz keys and traditional metal castanets. A night of global music that will harness the deep trance power of the Gnawa repertoire, mixing elements of desert blues with heavy groove, to lift the spirits and dance.

Gnawa music originates from the Gnawa ethnic group, who were brought to Morocco from sub-Saharan Africa beginning around the 11th century.
