Summary: <p>The New York-based band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/innovgnawa" target="_blank">Innov Gnawa</a> performs the traditional healing music of Morocco: Gnawa - a trancey, rhythmic music that is played on an array of unique instruments — from the lute-like gimbri (sintir), to the metal qarqaba (castinets) with which the kouyos (chorus) keep time and pound out clattering, hypnotic rhythms. One of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/innovgnawa" target="_blank">Innov Gnawa'</a>s innovations is to collaborate with modern electronic acts like Bonobo, but they've just released a new record, <em>Aicha</em>, and they'll be performing at the <a href="http://brooklynfolkfest.com/schedule/" target="_blank">10th Annual Brooklyn Folk Festival</a> this weekend. Innov Gnawa performs in-studio. </p> <p>Watch the full session here:</p>
