Marmoucha Collective Sessions – ‘Marrakech’ New Compositions III

Het Marmoucha Collective i.s.m. gerenommeerde musici uit Noord-Afrika en het Midden-Oosten presenteert op 20 juni 2020 live om 14:00 uur het derde nummer uit hun brede repertoire op de Marmoucha kanalen (youtube, instagram en facebook). Dit keer in samenwerking met een fenomenale gastartiest ” Mehdi Nassouli” (componist, percussionist, zanger en guembri -speler). Met een nieuwe uitvoering van het lied “Marrakech”.

Mehdi Nassouli was born in Tarudant, southern Morocco, engaged in Gnawa culture. A phenomenal musical talent, he learned to play various musical instruments at an early age, becoming especially passionate about the three-stringed Gnawa bass lute, the guembri (also known as sentir and hajjuj). Before launching his international career, Mehdi Nassouli spent a decade traveling throughout Morocco, studying the diverse regional musical traditions under some of the leading musicians in the area. In southern morocco, Mehdi learned Malhoune poetic arts and Deqqa folkloric percussion. Mehdi has since fused his traditional North African style with jazz and other world styles in his own band and his collaborations with luminaries like Herbie Hancock, Fatoumata Diawara, Nneka, Justin Adams, Hindi Zahra, Andy Emler, Benjamin Taubkin and Alpha Blondy.
