Majid Bekkas

was born and raised in Salé, Morocco. Master Ba Houmane taught gnawa-music to him. In the way the blues reached her way to America through the “Black Atlantic”, in the same way sought Gnawa her way through the Sub-Sahara to North Africa. Gnawa followed the slavery route, which was used by the Moroccans after they captured Timbuktu. “Blues and Gnaw share the same history, they are like brothers who share the same mother: black Africa”. His ideas about music reveal as big knowledge of music styles, but he melts them in a masterly way with contemporary music.
