    The Catalan singer, producer and songwriter released her second album, Muérdago, on July 19 (2024) and is coming to Braga to present it through Square - Mapping The Atlantic.
    This is an album of many questions and few answers, with carefully selected sonic mantras guiding the path of these new compositions. The live premiere of this work took place at Sónar 2024, followed by a performance at Waking Life, giving us a preview of what was to come. The album had the collaboration of producers Mans O and Pura Cadera, and was mastered by Rashad Becker. His debut album, Cántaro (2022), was made with infinite layers of voices. With it, he has secured appearances on prestigious stages such as Primavera Sound 2022 and 2023, Fundación Miró, BAM Festival 2023, She Makes Noise 2023, among many others. 


    Asmâa Hamzaoui & Bnat Timbouktou 
    22:00 • Main Hall 


    Although women are essential to Gnawa rituals, there haven't been many female musicians in this musical genre. Asmâa Hamzaoui and the group Bnat Timboktou are part of a new wave changing this trend, performing in Braga at Square - Mapping The Atlantic. Hamzaoui was born into a Casablanca family that lived and breathed Gnawa - her father is a master musician, her mother a dancer. He learned to play the guembri instrument as a child and, from an early age, joined her father's band in the qraqeb and choir, before he encouraged her to create her own group. That group became Bnat Timboktou, the band that in late spring 2024 released L'bnat, the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album Oulad Ighaba on the Swedish label ajabu! Records. For Asmâa Hamzaoui, Gnawa stands above all other types of music, as it represents her childhood, being “spiritual, healing and makes you feel grounded.”
