WMI Concerts

Hassan Hakmoun ( sintir - skin faced lute, vocals, dance), from Marrakech, is the premier exponent of Moroccan Gnawa music in America and a commanding figure in world music circles. Accompanied by Brahim Fribgane (guitar, percussion) and Mohamed Bechar (qaraqab- castanets, dance), he will perform acrobatic dances and ecstatic music from Gnawa trance ceremonies - a blend of North African and Arab melodies with West African rhythms. The program will open with Berber music from the Middle Atlas region with Abderahim Boutat (outar -skin faced lute) and Brahim Fribgane.
