Seffarine live in Seattle

Experience Seffarine live on January 23rd

Seffarine is scheduled to perform in Seattle, Washington, United States on January 23, 2027. The artist blends elements of Moroccan Gnawa music with contemporary electronic and jazz influences. Gnawa music traditionally features call-and-response vocals, percussive instrumentation – notably the *guembri* (a three-stringed lute) and *qraqeb* (metal castanets) – and spiritual lyrical content rooted in Sufi traditions. Seffarine’s work expands upon this foundation incorporating modern production techniques and collaborations with musicians from diverse backgrounds, resulting in a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and forward-looking.
