MAGHRIBIBEAT feature from Yorkshire Post - May 2008
A CALDER Valley, West Yorkshire, band is heading for fame with the release of its first CD - and air time on national BBC radio. Maghribibeat is a remarkable band which has brought the music of North Africa to Britain.
At the heart of the band is Mohammed Ibn Sina, a long-time Hebden Bridge resident who came to Britain from Morocco and whose family still lives there.
Mohammed - known to his friends as Mo - drew together a group of musicians, to launch the band and re-create the music of Mo's home country, and particularly that associated with his family.
The band re-creates a highly rhythmic and trance-like sound typical of North Africa. Band members have made several visits to Morocco to gather and extend their material, and during one visit performed on Moroccan national television.
The band has a growing following, and in May 2008, released their first CD with a special performance at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. The CD, entitled 'Al Sharitte La'Awal', has already attracted national attention. One track,
‘Sabroh Wah Shatilla‘, was played on the Tom Robinson show on BBC Radio 6. Tom Robinson's comment was:
"What a cracker!"
