Trance, ritual, mysticism, psychedelism, magic... however one describes gnawa music, one cannot deny the fascination it exerts on people, which extends across the world. And Majid Bekkas, one of the most dazzling representatives of modern gnawa, is also probably the musician who has managed to find the most varied and interesting ways to interact this music with other genres. With the Magic Spirit Quartet, he took the bold initiative to construct a bridge to connect North Africa and Scandinavia, to align the ancestral with the ambient. It is an inspired approach that seems to capture the very spirit of 21st-century jazz.
