After seeing a performance at a mutual friend's party, producer and local gnawa enthusiast, Bosco Mann, invited Innov Gnawa to come record some tracks at the Daptone House of Soul. The invitation was accepted and over a five-hour session, the group tracked an entire albums’ worth of material - all in one take.

Aicha
Innov Gnawa
In 2016, Pique-nique Recordings presented their debut EP together and, since then, the band have also featured on 'Bambro Koyo Ganda' from Bonobo's latest album. Aicha is their much anticipated follow-up. alongside the joyous call and response between the Maalem and the group that's common in Gnawa, there are also hints of electronic programming interspersed between the traditional live instrumentation; no doubt an influence of Nicolas Jaar collaborator Dave Harrington who produced the EP.

Live from the world’s tastiest melting pot, the Creamery Mixtape 2.0 delivers a fresh installment to their second annual mixtape series on January 19, 2018.
This 12-song compilation was crafted during a 4-day sprint at the Creamery Studio in Brooklyn and, like a subway car at rush hour, it crams together an eclectic group of New Yorkers into harmony. The groups all share one thing in common: the ability to create great music in front of a tape machine--and fast. Producers Quinn Mccarthy and Jeff Fettig run the studio year-round but set time aside for the mixtape as a celebration of the city’s varied music scene and as homage to the live analogue recording art form.

Bambro Koyo Ganda
Bonobo Feat. Innov Gnawa
This favorite track from Bonobo's most recent release, Migration, explores a new approach to Gnawa music. Live hand-clapping, a driving sintir groove, and innovative Gnawa lyrics have allowed for a beautiful marriage with Bonobo's fluid synths and strings that all come together under a deep downtempo bass kick.
The track was nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.
