This collaborative performance is commissioned by Rewire.

Rewire initiated a one-offcollaboration between James Holden and Maalem Houssam Guinia: an intriguing combination of traditional and futuristic music. In2014, James Holden left (together with Floating Points) towardsMarrakesh, to become part of a residency with Maalem Mahmoud Guinia. This co-op has been recorded and released as their EP Marhaba. Last year the late Maalem Mahmoud Guinia passed away and his son, Maalem Houssam Guinia, took over; upholding the rich African Gnawa-tradition.
