Majid Bekkas performs gnawa blues. Just like the blues found its final destination in America, gnawa found its way to North Africa through sub-Saharan Africa. "Blues and gnawa share the same history, they are like brothers who have only one mother: black Africa." Majid Bekkas succeeds in blending the old musical values of gnawa skilfully with contemporary music. Majid Bekkas played the guinbri, guitar and ud, accompanied by percussionist Abdelfettah Houssaini.
