MOHAMED ERREBBAA & Tagna Groove

Mohamed Errebbaa is a Moroccan master musician living in Bristol with his young family. He plays the three-stringed Gnawa bass lute, the guembri, and received the title of Maalem (master of the Gnawa tradition) at the age of 26, making him one of the youngest masters.

Mohamed has performed internationally and across many festival stages including recent UK festivals WOMAD, Shambala and he is a fixture of Bristol’s international musical community. As well as his Gnawa tradition, he is an increasingly celebrated and exciting musical collaborator, most recently with global music adventurer Justin Adams.

His new six piece group Tagna Groove emerged from an Arts Council funded project that looks to platform traditional Gnawa music in a contemporary international context with UK based jazz, soul & Afro-funk musicians.
