Guitarist Justin Adams and Moroccan Gnawa master Mohamed Errebbaa share a musical connection shaped by deep listening, rhythmic curiosity and the pleasure of playing together. Their stripped-back duo brings Adams’ guitar into conversation with Errebbaa’s voice and guembri, the three-stringed bass lute at the heart of Gnawa music. A longstanding collaborator with Robert Plant, Adams has worked with Tinariwen, Rachid Taha and Sinéad O’Connor, alongside partnerships with Gambian musician Juldeh Camara and Italian violinist Mauro Durante. His playing connects North African influences with blues and the instinctive approach of his punk beginnings. Born in Rabat and now based in Bristol, Errebbaa began performing at ceremonial gatherings aged sixteen and was recognised as a maalem, or Gnawa master, at twenty-six. His songs carry histories of ancestry, community and spiritual life. Since meeting in 2021, the pair have developed an intimate, fluid sound that preserves Gnawa’s supple rhythms and improvisatory forms. Their new EP Mlouk Lil, recorded before a live audience in the Wood Room at Real World Studios, captures an exchange in which each instrument has space and every rhythmic detail can unfold. They will be joined by London-based percussionist Salim Akki.
