’Blue Moses’ by Randy Weston and Dar Gnawa of Tanger
The Gnawa in Morocco, like African-Americans in the United States, were taken as slaves from sub-Saharan Africa and developed a unique and very spiritual music and culture. Gnawa music is one of the major musical currents in Morocco. Moroccans overwhelmingly love Gnawa music and Gnawas ’Maalems’ are highly respected, and enjoy an aura of musical stardom.
On October 13, 2015, Abdellah El Gourd and Dar Gnawa of Tanger joined New School Jazz Artist-In-Residence, pianist and composer Randy Weston for a discussion and demonstration of various aspects of traditional Gnawan music, and how this African musical tradition has influenced Weston’s own compositions. The two first met in 1968 after Weston moved to Morocco and continue to perform together around the world, nearly fifty years later. It was El Gourd who initiated the pianist into the riches of Gnawa music. Weston explains, “The Gnawa people and their music represent one of the strongest spiritual connections I’ve ever experienced.“
Dar Gnawa of Tanger, a group of traditional Moroccan musicians led by El Gourd, performed and were joined by Randy Weston on piano.
This program is part of the Randy Weston Artist-In-Residency series at The New School for Jazz, produced by Phil Ballman.
