This event will take place in EartH Kitchen.
Now celebrating its 15th year, the Beirut Groove Collective is a collective of vinyl DJs, crate diggers, music obsessives and artists. For over a decade, the BGC has thrown one of the SWANA region’s most popular underground clubnights in Beirut, the BGC All-Nighter, which has built an international reputation for its distinctive sound and attracted some of the world's leading DJs, turntabalists and record collectors. In 2021, the collective brought their club nights to London with sell-out monthly residencies in grassroots venues across the city, as well as guest appearances at festivals, clubs and community spaces around the world.
At their parties, the BGC plays obscure and underground clubbing records from the ‘60s-‘80s from the Arab world, Africa and beyond, an eclectic mix of Lebanese ‘60s psych and Beat, oriental jazz, belly dance disco Arabic pop, Dabkeh, Armenian Estradayin, Ethiopian Bangers and Sudanese Jazz and much more.
Led by master Guembri player and UK ambassador of Gnawa culture, Simo Lagnawi, Gnawa London brings the soulful rhythms of traditional Gnawa music to life this January. The Moroccan berber musician has seven albums to his name and has toured the world with his innovative take on gnawa music.
Presented by The Beirut Groove Collective.
This is a 18+ event.
