Float away on the blissful airwaves radiated from Morocco’s finest: The Naghma Band
Neghma Band is a Moroccan collective blending the soul of Gnawa music with the rhythms of Afrobeat, Blues, and Jazz. Rooted in the spiritual traditions of Morocco, their sound bridges North and Sub-Saharan Africa, creating a hypnotic groove that celebrates unity, rhythm, and cultural dialogue.
Fronted by Mouad Neghma on lead vocals, guembri, and guitar, the band brings together musicians from across the African diaspora:
• Tawanda Manika (Zimbabwe) – Bass
• Saido (Burkina Faso) – Drums
• Adam (London) – Keys
Together, they weave ancient Moroccan trance with African groove and Western improvisation, creating a unique fusion that speaks to both tradition and modernity. Neghma Band’s performances are a celebration of African brotherhood — connecting hearts through rhythm, call, and response.
Balladeux was born from the meeting of singer-songwriter Pamela Fom and composer and multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Marchevsky, both from Rio de Janeiro, united by their passion for forró and music.On stage, Balladeux stands out for its explosive, festive, and infectious energy, creating a strong connection with audiences through dance, singing, and moments of genuine interaction.Rodrigo gained international recognition with his song “Avec Elle,” which has accumulated millions of streams across digital platforms.Pamela’s guitar playing and emotionally charged vocals, infused with a joyful celebration of life, blend seamlessly with Rodrigo’s magical accordion and percussion. Together, they move between samba and cocek, baião and ska, as well as bossa nova and dub.
Spinning into the early hours is DJ Sacha Dieu, celebrated for genre-defying sets that leap through the best genres in party music!
