ART OF BEAT

Description

The Hamadcha of Fez are dervishes belonging to the very old (17th century) Moroccan Sufi brotherhood Hamdouchiyia. Its members are mystics who sing and dance to the point of trance in honor of the saint founder, the miracle worker Sidi Ali Ben Hamdouch. During a performance, their astonishing spiritual and artistic practices transmit their "baraka," a divine grace, to those who approach them. The audience vibrates and moves to the rhythm of the dervishes' chants, tempos, stories, and fascinating dances. Dj Click sets up his gear in the heart of the old city. He searches for atypical sounds from the heart of the streets, soaking in the atmosphere, then offers us a postcard-like sound where tradition meets modernity. He is the first DJ producer to be accepted into their brotherhood for such an encounter!
