The Trance of Seven Colors cover art

Produced by Bill Laswell, this monumental collaboration brings together Moroccan Gnawa master Maleem Mahmoud Ghania and American free jazz saxophone legend Pharoah Sanders. Recorded in Essaouira, the album creates a deeply hypnotic, spiritual dialogue between traditional polyrhythmic sintir grooves and soaring, avant-garde saxophone improvisations.
