🇲🇦 MOROCCAN INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION 🇲🇦
Join us at Hootananny Brixton for a special celebration of Moroccan Independence Day, bringing together the rich musical traditions, rhythms and spirit of Morocco for an unforgettable evening of live music

Headlining the celebrations is Simo Lagnawi & Gnawa London, led by one of the UK's leading ambassadors of traditional Gnawa music.

Born in Morocco and now based in London, Simo Lagnawi is a master of the guembri, the traditional three-stringed bass instrument at the heart of Gnawa music. Blending hypnotic rhythms, soulful vocals, call-and-response chants and infectious percussion, his performances draw on centuries-old North African musical traditions while bringing a fresh, contemporary energy to the stage.

Expect an immersive evening of powerful grooves, spiritual rhythms and vibrant Moroccan culture as we come together to celebrate the country's independence, heritage and musical identity.
