Hassan Hakmoun

With a history of street performances in Marrakech starting at age four, Hassan Hakmoun
has spent his life devoted to the music and spirituality of Morocco. He is considered one of the
world’s great gnawa trance masters, evidenced by anyone that has ever seen him perform.
Whether seated with his sintir, surrounded by percussion in a traditional ceremony, or launching
a sonic assault with his rock-gnawa fusion in front of tens of thousands of fans, Hakmoun is a
charged and energetic performer unlike any other. Having recorded on Peter Gabriel’s Real
World Records and Triloka, Hakmoun promises to entrance the audience, as is customary
whenever he takes the microphone.
