Live Music by Saha Gnawa

Join the Whitney for performances by Saha Gnawa, co-presented by Public Records as part of Durations 2025. Saha Gnawa is a Brooklyn-based collective that brings North African futurism to the U.S., uniting the founders of Innov Gnawa with New York City’s jazz and contemporary music scenes to reimagine modern Gnawa music. Refined via late-night sessions at LunÀtico in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, the group explores trance-like states through its intuitive interplay, allowing ancestral rhythms and melodies to drift into unknown territories.
