{"product_id":"karim-ziad_yobadi_2010_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Yobadi","description":"Conductor of Ifrikya, Artistic Director of the Essaouira Festival, of the \"Crazy Berber Nights\" at the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris and above all a talented drummer, Karim Ziad shares his musical identity between his Maghreb origins and his passion for jazz. Hamid El Kasri is an immense solo voice, a curious artist who has crossed his knowledge with other brotherhoods and other styles. He is one of the mâalem gnaoui (master, guide) who naturally masters the traditional gnawa repertoire while being open to modernity. Hamid had often expressed the desire to sing on Karim's arrangements. It is not just an image, but a true image. Karim and Hamid have known each other for a long time, have often played together but have only ever dreamed of an album project. It has finally materialized against a backdrop of arrangements signed by Karim Ziad and supported by the depth and dexterity of Hamid El Kasri's gumbri. Dressed in sparkling brass, lined with deadly guitar riffs, fevered by a deluge of percussion and powered by the throbbing rumble of the gumbri, plus Khaled's voice on the track Banouar, this swirling record plays with the usual boundaries. Based on texts that are both praises to God and to his prophet, hymns to tolerance in a world of brutes, and invocations of protective and healing saints, called upon to spread the blessing, Yobadi aims to be the synthesis symbol between the most precious past and the boldest creativity. Yobadi, which means \"friends\" in bambara, is the project of two great artists and their companions with multiple influences for an initiatory journey to (re)discover gnawa music.","brand":"Karim Ziad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57856326271320,"sku":null,"price":23579218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/karim-ziad_yobadi_2010_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
