Moroccan-French Bab L'Bluz takes the blues back to North Africa with the utmost naturalness. Freed from traditional gender roles, the band takes sides with the youth uprising in Morocco - and has become part of a new wave of musicians who bring their cultural heritage into songs about freedom. The music is ancient and at the same time current, funky and rhythmic, driven by Arabic poetry, hypnotic vocals and bass-heavy grooves with a pulse from the heart of the Maghreb. Look out for a brand new record on Peter Gabriel's label Real World Records!
