about

Lila is the Arabic word for night and is also the name of the liturgic ceremony manifested in a trance, as a process of healing and therapy, through a ritual of sensory immersion conducted by music (gnawa), incense, colour and dance. From sunset to dawn, seven colours are revealed, associated with different rhythms and stages of ecstasy. In LILA, Ayoub ElAyady, Khalid Boulhamam and O Morto summarily travel through the seven colours of the nocturnal ritual in all its scope – using both the form of tradition and electronic manipulation.

Ayoub ElAyadi is a young musician from Casablanca, respected for the vibrant and powerful way he plays the guembri.

A musician and sound artist from Lisbon, Mestre André a.k.a. O Morto has worked as a field-recordist, composer and sound designer for film, dance, performance, theatre and videogames.
