Born in Marrakech, Hassan Hakmoun is the premier exponent of Moroccan Gnawa trance music in America and a commanding figure in world music circles. While punching out a groove on the sintir, a bass lute, his ecstatic vocals invoke the spirits of healing through chants of praise to the Prophet Mohammad and the saints. His ensemble  provides backup vocals in a call-and-response style and accompanies him on  drums and qaraqeb(metal castanets). The music is a spellbinding blend of North African and Arab melodies with West African rhythms. Accompanists to be announced

“Mr. Hakmoun had the charisma of a rock star…rapturous…enthralling” 
-- New York Times

"one of Morocco’s greatest musical exports: "- WNYC.org
