Gnawavan @ The Magic Garden

Float away on the blissful airwaves radiated from Morocco’s finest: Gnawavan

Gnawavan is a Moroccan collective blending the soul of Gnawa music with the rhythms of Afrobeat, Blues, and Jazz. Rooted in the spiritual traditions of Morocco, their sound bridges North and Sub-Saharan Africa, creating a hypnotic groove that celebrates unity, rhythm, and cultural dialogue.

Fronted by Mouad Neghma on lead vocals, guembri, and guitar, the band brings together musicians from across the African diaspora:

• Tawanda Manika (Zimbabwe) – Bass

• Saido (Burkina Faso) – Drums

• Adam (London) – Keys

Together, they weave ancient Moroccan trance with African groove and Western improvisation, creating a unique fusion that speaks to both tradition and modernity. Gnawavan’s performances are a celebration of African brotherhood — connecting hearts through rhythm, call, and response.
