Nayda! by Bab L’ Bluz now available on CD & Vinyl

Fronted by an African-Moroccan woman in a traditionally male role, Bab L’ Bluz are devoted to a revolution in attitude which dovetails with Morocco’s ‘nayda’ youth movement – a new wave of artists and musicians taking their cues from local heritage, singing words of freedom in the Moroccan-Arabic dialect of darija.

Here is some of the great press that has been coming in for the album over the last few weeks:

“Healing music for troubled times” 
★★★★ The Arts Desk

“A blast of low, guttural guembri, thumping drums with a slight stutter to the rhythm, a hint of overblown flute and sharp ululation.” 
★★★★ Financial Times

“Raised consciousness guembri grooves and psych blues”
★★★★ MOJO

“Bab L’ Bluz se place d’emblée au sommet des expériences les plus abouties de fusion entre les mondes musicaux gnaoua et occidental.” 
Le Monde

“Un laboratoire ultra créatif où on mélange un funk hybride qui parlerait au pschédelisme.” 
France Inter
