Songs, music and dance are fundamental, as are these seven-coloured scarves that hold the bodies of possessed dancers. In the spirit of the Lila, the Aywa group from North Africa is pushing its audience towards a striking and liberating whirlwind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With a first album called \u201cAlwan\u201d (\u201ccolours\u201d in Arabic) already planned for 2020, the quintet seizes the traditions of Maghreb, Gnawa heritage, Berber instruments, and infuses them with the electric energy of contemporary music. \u201cLmouja,\u201d the track just above (which means \u201cthe wave\u201d in Arabic), testifies to this desire to draw on its cultural heritage while bringing it up to date by taking it to other sound regions. This last single is also accompanied by a solar new music video\u00a0shot in the south-east of France, at the mouth of the port of S\u00e8te to be more precise.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34117\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/8f0f97a9-aywa-lmouja.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/8f0f97a9-aywa-lmouja.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/8f0f97a9-aywa-lmouja-759x383.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/8f0f97a9-aywa-lmouja-1010x510.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/8f0f97a9-aywa-lmouja-661x334.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/8f0f97a9-aywa-lmouja-465x235.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/8f0f97a9-aywa-lmouja-375x189.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aywa distills an explosive blend that invites people to gather and dance, bringing together Maghreb chants, rock and jazz in a decidedly modern approach.
