The band Trance Mission Gnawa was born from the encounter between the gnawa maâlem Hassan el Gadiri and the saxophone player Grégoire Tirtiaux and follows as a mission the transmission of the spirit of trance music.
Gnawa music carries the sound and rhythmic variations of the european musicians. Riffs, arrangements and improvisations color gnawa music with an afro-(free)jazz tonality sending the audience into the different nuances of trance rhythms.
