Trans-Atlantic connections

It seems inevitable, that Hamid El Kasri and Bokanté should meet. Two artists known for their exceptional vocal performances (Hamid and Malika Tirolien), an atypical instrumentation that explores the rich sounds of Creole music and the spiritual depths of Gnaoua music. In 2018, Hamid El Kasri opened the festival in fusion with the famous Brooklyn-based jam Jazz group, Snarky Puppy. This same group’s musical director, Michael League, is the founder of the Bokanté project. A family reunion.
