Waaju X Majid Bekkas

A London concert bringing together Waaju and Majid Bekkas, presented at Blue Note London on Saint Martin's Lane in the West End.

Majid Bekkas is a Moroccan musician rooted in the gnawa tradition, whose playing centres on the guembri, a three-stringed bass lute. Their work moves between traditional gnawa repertoire and collaborations with musicians from other traditions. Waaju shares the bill, and the concert brings the two artists together on the same London stage.

Blue Note London is a concert venue on Saint Martin's Lane, close to Leicester Square in the West End. Its address is WC2N 4HX, within easy reach of central London transport links.

The evening will suit listeners interested in gnawa music and in dialogues between North African music and other musical traditions, particularly those who follow how established folk forms are reinterpreted in a live concert setting.
