Hamid El Kasri

Hamid El Kasri is a solo artist associated with MA whose catalog here spans 2007–2022. The artist is connected with Gnawa, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Gnawa shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Allah Allah Ya El Bouhali”, “La Ilah Il Allah”, “Moulay Ibrahim”, “Shamharouch”. Then move to “Bouhala Gnawa” and “Roots & Plugged” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
