about

Nuru comes from Dakar, Senegal and his music is influenced by all the sounds of West Africa, the blues and gnawa, the trance music of the north African countries of Morocco and Algeria. Nuru's main instrument is the guimbri, a three stringed acoustic bass, central to the Gnawa sound. In concert Nuru fronts Bayefall Gnawa a six piece band with musicians from Senegal, France, Algeria and Morocco. Sigil was released worldwide in the spring of 2006 and is Nuru's debut CD. In November 2006 he was nominated as "Best Newcomer" for the BBC Radio 3 Awards fro World Music 2007.
