Melodious trance states with Maalem Houssam Guinia

Kathryn Tickell shares new Gnawa music from Maalem Houssam Guinia and circular songs from Donsoya artist Nfaly DiakitΓ©.

Kathryn Tickell presents trance-inducing circular music from the new album of Moroccan Gnawa master Maalem Houssam Guinia, the son of the illustrious Maalem Mahmoud Guinia. In a similar spirit, we hear the music of Donsoya artist Nfaly DiakitΓ©, who sings accompanied by donso ngoni, his eight-stringed antelope skin harp. Elsewhere in the show, guitarist Justin Adams and frame drum player Mauro Durante blend Italian pizzica with blues on their latest album, Sweet Release.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: β€œAsk ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds to play Music Planet.”
