Heir to the great Gnaoua tradition through his father, the legendary Mahmoud Gania, Maâlem Houssam Gania embodies the new generation of an ancestral music in perpetual motion. Sharing the spotlight will be Marcus Gilmore, American prodigy and one of the most inventive drummers in contemporary jazz, bringing rhythmic finesse and modern composition to the stage. Having worked with giants such as Chick Corea, Esperanza Spalding, and Steve Coleman, Marcus Gilmore combines technical virtuosity, bold rhythm, and stylistic openness. Their meeting promises a free and inspired conversation between the deep percussion of the guembri and the sophisticated metrics of jazz.
