The Parallells<\/strong> duo are proud to launch their A Day In series with a fantastic first film from Essaouira in Morocco, during Moga Festival.<\/strong> The film features a new and exclusive track\u00a0 \u201cA Day In Essaouira\u201d which will be available for purchase on Bandcamp and profits will go to the Associations Yerma Gnaoua and\u00a0Issaouas in order to help Moroccan traditional musicians and their families to overcome the CV19 crisis.<\/p>\n

Julien and Thomas de Bie, former students of the Academy of Music, grew up influenced by jazz and classical music and are now underground electronic stalwarts who are based in Amsterdam. They perform at major festivals such around the globe, manage Klassified Records and the Klassified Music Festival and have just opened \u201cThe House of Klassified\u201d in Amsterdam; a creative hub for their artists combining: studios, recording facilities, an art gallery and co-working spaces.<\/p>\n

With this ambitious new project, Parallells have taken their musical venture even further by discovering different cultures, tribes and their specific sounds. This episode is the first one of the video series \u201cA Day In\u201d where Parallells translate, through field recordings, a specific culture, city or country.\u00a0 It is said that \u201cMusic is the universal language\u201d and Parallells aims to show how it connects people as well as showing the world\u2019s beauty and use music as a force for change. This video was filmed by friend Arnaud Moro who does a remarkable job of capturing the process through his lens.<\/p>\n

This last October, Parallells<\/strong>, Maalem Omar Hayat and his crotales players performed a unique show combining Gnawa music infused with electronic music. It came about as an initiative from Moga Festival called Moga Creation. Creating bridges between tradition and modernity, perpetuating the heritage of Essaouira, a city of mixed cultures, highlighting local creativity and hospitality, this project is what Moga Creation aims for.<\/p>\n

Parallells rehearsed in the middle of Essaouira\u2019s Medina, in a sacred place where the synergies were shivering when electronic music met traditional Gnawa\u2019s rhythm and culture. After 3 days together, they played this memorable live at Moga Festival, a performance forever engraved in many people\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n
