Digital Afrika return to the fray with this incredible EP for ASW. Featuring the original Gnawa plus it™s acoustic source recording as performed by Radouan Naim in Morocco PLUS two truly excellent remixes from the legendary Jose Marquez and Melbourne™s own TEYMORI (Amin Payne). The original source recording for this track was laid down in Planet Essaouira and recorded by Zhonu šNui› Moon (Digital Afrika ) on one of his many cultural trips to his ancestral home land. The studio is situated on the Moroccan coastal town of Essaouira , a cultural hub for the Berber (indigenous Moroccan) traditions. This enigmatic town , popularised by the beatniks and bohemians of the 60's, most famously by Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones , has a mystique all its own as well as a long musical history. šGnawa› in Berber language literally translates as šTranceš music , and is traditionally performed in šLilas› musical ceremonies accompanied by dance that can go on for days .. where the purpose is to produce trance-like states of being where different types of healing or catharsis can occur .. The recording was then brought back to Melbourne, Australia. Where the Digital Africa team applied its electronic Afro-house touches , while keeping true to its original North African aesthetic.
