Whenever there is a meeting between Gnawa trance music from North Africa, looping sub-Saharan melodies, and bewitching electro sounds, the combination is bound to be explosive. The French/North African techno trio Zar Electrik includes singer instrumentalists Anass Zine and Arthur Peneau on gumbri, oud and electric kora, and Did Miosine on the machines. The enchanting voices and rhythms, bathed in electro colours, result in a powerful call to the dance. Zar Electrik takes you on a captivating trip to the borders of the Maghreb that will invoke an ecstatic and life affirming celebration.
