Successful fusion between dub and gnawa
The boundaries of musical fusion are pushed in this unique collaboration. Imane Guemssy is an heir of the Gnawa traditions. He is a master of the guembri, the typical three-string bass lute, and the sacred chants of this mystical and spiritual music from Morocco. The hypnotic playing, accompanied by ancestral rhythms, evokes meditative trances and an intimate connection with the African roots of the Gnawa tradition.
Kosmo Sound, on the other hand, are known for their unique approach to dub, taking sonic minimalism to the extreme. Their nuanced compositions are based on subtle bass and distant echoes, creating an almost ethereal sound space in which every silence and every vibration takes on new importance. By using the space between sounds, they create an immersive atmosphere typical of dub, but somehow more introspective and calmer. The result of this collaboration bridges the gap between two distant but surprisingly complementary musical worlds.
