Apr. 30th was #InternationalJazzDay and since today is also Friday, I'm sharing a clip of Gwana Jazz Master Abdellah El-Gourd. Gwana music emerged out of the cultural fusion of West African spirituality and music with North Africa music. Jazz artists from the US became attracted to Gwana and incorporated some of its elements. Fast forward to 16:58 to hear the Gwana rhythms.
