Simo Lagnawi’s debut album Gnawa London is a bold statement about musical identity as a Moroccan immigrant in London. The ten tracks range from the classic Gnawa number Shalaba, that shows off Lagnawi’s impressive vocal technique to the original Elhal, referring to the Arab Spring and simply stating ‘Enough!’. Lagnawi is a World Music Network battle of the bands winner, and with cover art by fellow Moroccan-Londoner Hassan Hajjaj this debut "reveals Simo Lagnawi to be an artist to watch closely.”
