Erraji is a blind master musician from Tazart, near Marrakesh. Here, he fields oud, quanun, violin, darbuka, keys and nay and shares vocals with Yasmin Erraji...
"What he [Hassan Erraji] has...is melodies aplenty, bolstering the set of love songs. It is when he plays qanun or oud or nay flute, that the music becomes distinctive: the swelling call-and-response of Saraha, the relentless scrape of Douka Dance, the characteristically martial Berber rhythm of Blani Alhawa. FOUR STARS"

"Erraji is a blind master musician from Tazart, near Marrakesh. Here, he fields oud, quanun, violin, darbuka, keys and nay and shares vocals with Yasmin Erraji. Rhythm unit Kenny Higgins and Ben Stevens round out the quartet, and it s an ebullient and lethally infectious shot of Berber musical adrenalin from start to finish. ALBUM OF THE WEEK"
