They make hypnotic healing music that combines ancient indigenous and Islamic sacred syncopations that are unlike any music on the planet. The Marrakech-born gimbri master Hassan Hakmoun, who once worked with Peter Gabriel, beautifully marries Western pop grooves and synths with those ancestral anthems. This CD is his most accomplished to date; instead of a sterile superimposition of styles, it's a true hybrid that produces something equally old and new. On tracks like the gospel-toned \"Syada Ana\", \"Sala, Allaho, Alaik\", and \"Mimouna\", the tantric derdeba tones power the percussion. \"This Gift\" is a dreamy midtempo duet between Hakmoun and the pop vocalist Paula Cole. Hassan Hakmoun's syncretic sepia tones give a new colour to world music. --Eugene Holley, Jr, Amazon.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56441576849782,"sku":"0793018522823","price":10.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_2662409_2093760_20250528072639.jpg?v=1760388347","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0793018522823-the-gift","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
