Traditional Amazigh band Berber Diffusion + DJ Em Press til 2am!
Berber Diffusion
Berber Diffusion are the UK’s first traditional Amazigh band (Based in London), leading the scene with our unique blend of Amazigh pentatonic scales with Gnawa traditional music. The Amazigh people (aka Berbers) are pre-Arab North African nomadic clans, whose history runs deep under the Saharan sand, defying many attempts at oppression and eradication. Our musical traditions have continued into the present day through small groups of travelling musicians who still play at weddings and other ceremonies and celebrations, sharing the stories and poems of our ancestors.
Founder of Berber Diffusion and lead singer, Abdellah Rais, is a multi-talented musician who studied under masters in Agadir and across Morocco. Playing the banjo, guembri, qraqab and drums, as well as a composer of house tracks, he twists together various strains of his musical heritage to create an innovative and unique sound.
