Asmâa Hamzaoui & Bnat Timbouktou (MA)
Prepare to immerse yourself in the music as Resonator invites you to a trance session that is both groundbreaking and deeply rooted in traditional Moroccan Gnawa music.
While women have always been an important part of Gnawa rituals, it’s rare for these rituals to be led by a female maalem, the leading musician in the ritual who plays the guembri. Asmâa Hamzao is today one of the few female musicians leading a new wave of Gnawa music together with her group Bnat Timbouktou.
The lively and captivating music combines leaping rhythms in harmony with vocal melodies, enveloped by the metallic rhythms of handheld qraqeb and devoted choral singing. The traditions run deep, and the stage setting is vibrant and fresh.
Asmâa Hamzao has spent her entire life mastering the music and has gathered her exceptional group. You are invited to a truly unique experience that has already graced many major festivals and countries around the world.
