Waaju + Majid Bekkas

Trio

Waaju + Majid Bekkas celebrates an exceptional fusion combining Gnawa transe music offered by the powerful musical force of Majid Bekkas and the mesmerizing aesthetics of the group of creators of psychedelic beats from London, Waaju.

Majid Bekkas is considered to be one of the major figures in African music today. His recordings have been critical in the revival of Gnawa music over the past few decades.

For his first collaboration with a British group, Majid easily integrates into the vibrant chemistry of Waaju. This collaboration is illustrated through their album “Alouane” where they present a light record with harmonic nuances and dynamic sensitivity.

“Alouane” is a powerful contribution to the Gnawa fusion genre. It is one of the most noticed albums among those released in the United Kingdom in 2024.
