Aissawa Trance Rhythms

Aissawa Trance Rhythms Presented by Greywolf

This workshop will present deeply orchestrated trance rhythms from Morocco.
The Aissawa are a mystical order of Sufis who perform music and dance to
accommodate trance and spiritual healing. Greywolf has been studying and
performing with Quentin Shaw, founder of Chicago Aissawa, and is excited to
present these very differeny rhythms! Traditional instruments for these
rhythms include Bendir, Tareyja, Tabl, and Tasa; some of these will be
available for use in the workshop but also feel free to bring your drums.
