Samir LanGus Gnawa Jazz Quartet

Moroccan Gnawa master Samir LanGus fuses ancient trance rhythms with contemporary jazz in a quartet that takes over Barlunatico’s stage. Accompanied by flutist Elsa Nilsson, pianist Chris McCarthy, and drummer Nizar Dahmani, the group weaves hypnotic guembri grooves with improvisational flair. The two‑set evening invites listeners to experience a cultural exchange that is both spiritual and exhilarating, all while enjoying the venue’s full dinner and cocktail menu. This unique blend of world‑music tradition and modern jazz offers Needham’s audience a rare, transcendent concert experience.
