Overview
Gnawa Manchester is a band playing Moroccan Gnawa trance music in a fusion style with jazz and blues, staged at the Copper Bar in Band on the Wall, a concert and performance venue in the Northern Quarter.
Gnawa Manchester performs the hypnotic trance rhythms of Morocco's Gnawa tradition, a practice grounded in religious ritual and a long cultural past. The band is led by Zakaryae, who plays the guembri. Their modern fusion blends Sub-Saharan sacred influences with a hint of jazz and blues, played on a varied instrumental mix.
Performances are built on deep grooves and call-and-response patterns, drawing on the repetitive rhythms at the heart of the Gnawa tradition.
The concert takes place at the Copper Bar, within Band on the Wall, a concert and performance venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter. It suits listeners interested in trance music rooted in Moroccan spiritual practice and in its meeting with jazz and blues.
