In 2022 we brought you... @rabiiharnoune & @vbkuehl ‘GNAWA ELECTRIC LAUNE II’ @gnawa_electric_laune Moroccan Gnawa-master (maâlem) Rabii Harnoune and Frankfurt electronic producer V.B.Kühl meld traditional North African Gnawa music with funky, soulful modern club sounds. ‘Gnawa Electric Laune II’ is a more defined follow-up to the duo’s debut, with all songs on the album weaving Gnawa folklore culture into their lyrical themes and conceptual approaches. “Aisha” is a tale about the mythological female figure renowned as the greatest woman of all time; “Laafou” is about the end of suffering for a majestic singer called Bilal Ibn Rabah al-Habashi, hand-picked by the Prophet Muhammad himself; and “Koyo Koyo” a term for the righthand man of the Gnawa master who learns to play the Qarqaba (also known as Krakebs, an iron castanet-like rhythmic musical instrument). “This is super elegant futuristic Gnawa ❤ ❤ ❤" Laurent Garnier Rabii Harnoune & V.B.Kühl have recently returned from a trip to Morocco, see @gnawa_electric_laune for more highlights from their visit. . . . . . . #rabiiharnoune #vbkuhl #gnawaelectriclaune #gnawa #gnawaelectronic #gnawamusic #gnawastyle #gnawafusion #fokelore #morocco #northafrica #clubsounds #electronicmusic #beats #truthoughts #truthoughtsrecords #2022 #albums #albumsoftheyear #albumoftheyear
