Soudani Manayou

Majid Bekkas - Soudani Manayou

With both tracks taken from the incredible 2001 album African Gnaoua Blues (Igloo Records), the A-side features 8-minute groove workout 'Soudani Manayou', a perfect fusion of Gnawa guitar and afro-jazz sensibilities. On the flip, a club-ready version of 'Mrhaba' leaves the original spirit intact but brings a definitive peak-time bounce, complete with a whirling flute breakdown. Full sleeve artwork comes from Colombia-based artist Bethany Porteous.
