Electric Jalaba + DJ EEAR

Electric Jalaba + DJ EEAR at The Old Market Assembly

A gig held at The Old Market Assembly on Friday 13th May. The event starts at 22:00.


A deep psychedelic, groove-heavy meeting between Moroccan Gnawa master Simo Lagnawi, Italian/English drummer Dave De Rose and four musical brothers; Henry, Oliver, Nathaniel and Barnaby Keen from Dorset (UK).

Playing traditional songs about colourful spirits, mysterious women, men that divide oceans and armies of conquerors weave themselves among enormous infectious grooves, analogue effects and warped guitars. All of which and more swirl inside the music of Electric Jalaba: six musicians with an empathy that feels telepathic, and a groove that immerses and dazzles.

Producing an electrifying live set and making Electric Jalaba one of the most sought after Moroccan Gnawa live acts±

“Bringing the otherworldly sounds of electronic trance music to Moroccan ritual gnawa.” New Internationalist
