Experience Majid Bekkas live on October 14th

Majid Bekkas will perform at the Großer Sendesaal Des Hessischen Rundfunks in Frankfurt, Germany on October 14, 2026. Bekkas is a Moroccan-born musician known for his innovative blend of Gnawa music – a spiritual and musical tradition originating with formerly enslaved sub-Saharan Africans in Morocco – with elements of jazz and contemporary world music. His compositions frequently feature the *guembri*, a three-stringed bass lute central to Gnawa rituals, alongside piano, percussion and other instruments. Bekkas’s work often explores themes of spirituality, cultural exchange and improvisation.
