Experience longtime WMI friend and legendary Moroccan Gnawa master musician Hassan Hakmoun in conversation with his friend and collaborator (and Club d’Elf bassist) Mike Rivard. The two will talk about Morocco’s Gnawa music and Hassan’s musical journey, his creative process and his instrument – the sintir, a low resonance, three-string lute. Learn how he manages to balance keeping centuries-old musical traditions alive while putting his own personal stamp on the music, pushing it forward into the next generation. Hassan will share musical demonstrations and stories about his collaborations with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Ozomatli, Don Cherry, and Kronos Quartet, and will answer questions posted by attendees. ...
