This remix of Innov Gnawa's "Bangara" is a fresh new take on Gnawa music that honors the soul of the sound and the musicians who carry the tradition.
A chance encounter with a Touareg dancer in 2013 led Greek producer AkizzBeatzz to discover the music of North Africa, sparking his passion for Gnawa (a pan-African Sufi ritualistic trance tradition that arose from the shadows of slavery in Morocco), which he has continued to study and explore since.
When AkizzBeatzz came across Remix ←→ Culture's unique Gnawa recordings and remixable sonic offerings (remix-culture.org/innov-gnawa), he jumped at the invitation to download (for free) and remix our high-quality samples. Once his track was ready, AkizzBeatzz approached Remix ←→ Culture for a license to commercially release this remix, in accordance with Remix ←→ Culture's fair trade economic model, which splits net proceeds evenly between all co-creators (AkizzBeatzz, Remix ←→ Culture, and Innov Gnawa).
For just $1 you can get your hypnotic groove on *and* invest in a new fair trade ecosystem.
