Recorded at Achim Sauer’s 7V-Studio, collectively Rabii Harnoune \u0026amp; V.B. Kühl have produced an LP which represents entirely new territory, building a bridge from old to new, from Africa to Europe, and from to person to person. This melange of traditional North African Gnawa music and modern club sounds results in a fascinating debut, cross-cultural friction which is electric and otherworldly. \n\n“Gnawa music was exclusively played by families whose parents came from Sub-Saharan or Central African tribes to Morocco in colonial times” Rabii explains, “it was rare to be able to listen to Gnawa music on radio, so I started to collect rare live recordings”. Rabii’s mastery at the Guembri, a three-string lute and Gnawa singing (a central aspect to the culture), would lead him to play world-class festivals in Essaouira, Fes, Marrakesh, and Casablanca – all spiritual centres for the genre. \n\nV.B.Kühl realised his own musical vision and ambition when he inherited his first ghettoblaster (boombox) and bought a four-track recorder: “rhythm is deep in me, and although music is not my profession, the passion never stopped”.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Gatefold, Hand-Numbered [w\/ download card]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Tru Thoughts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: LP-TRU-391\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Harnoune, Rabii \u0026 V.B.Kuhl","offers":[{"title":"- ELECTRONIC *NEW*","offer_id":45084353265779,"sku":"3YM35B-ZSIJ-BL","price":13.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/electronic-new_2m1VM.jpg?v=1780945976","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/harnoune-rabii-v-b-kuhl-gnawa-electric-laune-vinyl","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
