“Bringing the otherworldly sounds of electronic trance music to Moroccan ritual gnawa” New Internationalist Electric Jalaba is a band who takes hypnotic North African gnawa music to a new dimension.Signed to the legendary Afro-jazz label Strut Records, their sound is a psychedelic meeting of tradition and ritual with contemporary electronica.
Centred around Moroccan gnawa master Simo Lagnawi, Electric Jalaba comprises six accomplished musicians with a telepathic empathy.
In Arabic, they call this quality ‘el hal’ or ‘the feeling’. “It’s the feeling that comes when we’re playing and totally forgetting where we are,” says producer and bassist Olly Keen. “The feeling of being grabbed by the music and lost in the groove.”
