Style

Tribal Fusion and Saharan Blues from the palm groves of Tagounite: desert‑guitar riffs, trance percussion and call‑and‑response that turn the stage into a shared rite.

Profile

Daraa Tribes formed in 2014 in Tagounite, an oasis town in Morocco’s Draa Valley: a group of friends from different tribes translating their home’s coexistence into sound. Their “blues of the desert” intertwines Gnawa, Sahraoui, Amazigh and Regaga idioms into a contemporary language—dry, hypnotic electric guitars, a pulsing bass, polyrhythmic percussion and multilingual chorus lines (Darija, Tamazight, Hassani). On stage the band builds by accumulation: circular grooves, minimal variation and tight interplay that draws the audience into a collective dance. After consolidating an international trajectory across festivals and clubs, Daraa Tribes have just wrapped up a UK mini‑tour (Bristol–London–Manchester), reaffirming the project’s high‑intensity live dimension.

Details 

• Rachid Berazougui writes and sings part of the repertoire with a desert‑tone electric guitar that leads the set’s hypnosis. (“Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of sound that is the heartbeat of Daraa Tribes.” Playing For Change, 2025-04-01)

• Mustapha Aqermim is a rhythmic and narrative engine: the band’s identity grew “in a circle,” without hierarchy, from sharing traditions. (“We didn’t plan to start a band. We just started playing together…” Matt Ross, Arab News, 2020-08-16)

• UK mini‑tour (just concluded): Jam Jar (Bristol, 2026-01-03), Hootananny (Brixton, 2026-01-07), Band on the Wall (Manchester, 2026-01-11).

• Sound imprint: desert‑guitar groove with a Gnawa edge—a writing approach that stays danceable even at its most ritual. (“…incorporate their Moroccan roots into a lilting groove… the edge of the North African Gnawa sounds.” Tony Benjamin, Bristol24/7, 2026-01-02)

Style

Riff-first rock trio built for the stage: short-fuse energy, big hooks, no filler. Blues-rock grit with arena-ready choruses, Hendrix-era swagger, and modern punch. A locked rhythm engine under a frontwoman who writes, arranges, and drives the narrative.

Profile

Electric Lady are a lean, high-voltage trio fronted by guitarist–vocalist and songwriter Tereza Rays. Their sound sits where blues-rock muscle meets modern hard-rock immediacy: tight, riff-driven verses that open into melodic choruses built to travel. The band’s DNA is all about articulation and impact—crisp guitar attack, a bass line that stays warm and physical, and drums that hit with straight-ahead authority while leaving space for vocal phrasing.

On record and on stage, Electric Lady move like a single unit: the rhythm section locks into a punchy pocket, while the guitar alternates between dirty groove and bright, singing leads. References to classic rock icons are present in the tone and swagger, but the writing keeps the focus on direct storytelling and cathartic release.

Details

Tereza Rays | Guitar, voice Writer-arranger at the center of the project, shaping songs around riff clarity and vocal urgency. A blues-rock foundation with a modern, radio-ready sense of structure and hook placement. Known for an assertive stage presence where lead lines stay melodic even at full distortion. Recent studio and live work connects her to high-profile UK production and legacy-rock circles. “Vocalist and guitarist Tereza Rays is a tour de force… Her vocals soared and dipped with effortless control.” (Sara Harding, MetalTalk, 2025-09-11)

Cayman | Bass A bassist who prioritizes weight and glue: round low-end, steady drive, and quick dynamic shifts. Brings a band-player mindset—supporting riffs, reinforcing choruses, and tightening transitions. Comfortable in power-trio arrangements where every note has to hold the room. A background in rock projects beyond Electric Lady feeds a grounded, performance-forward feel. “Cayman on bass and Robin Evans on drums match Tereza’s energy and power… share the same undeniable love for creating music.” (Mariam Atef, Rock Era Magazine, 2025-07-13)

Robin Evans | Drums A drummer built for forward motion: firm backbeat, confident accents, and clean, driving fills. Keeps the groove anchored while staying responsive to vocal phrasing and guitar pushes. Balances punch with economy—no excess, just momentum and control. Active across multiple UK rock contexts, bringing a seasoned live sensibility to the trio. “Riffs blasted through this venue, while Evans and Cayman locked into the groove.” (Sara Harding, MetalTalk, 2025-09-11)

Style

A cinematic jazz voice steeped in flamenco phrasing meets a lyric, modern piano trio, with tenor fire, singing electric bass, and Afro‑Peruvian/Latin drum colors.
Rhythmic architecture draws on bulería/tangos and post‑bop swing, opening space for elastic ballads, Iberian laments and New‑York‑tight grooves.
Collective storytelling favours counter‑melodies and interlocking ostinati; the band’s DNA privileges timbre and groove to frame harmony with luminous clarity.

Overall profile

Led by vocalist Andy James, this all‑star unit radiates a refined “flamenco‑jazz” aesthetic where articulation and narrative take center stage. James’ warm, burnished timbre and long‑line phrasing sit over Jon Cowherd’s lyrical voicings and a rhythm team that morphs seamlessly from modern swing to Iberian pulses. Rick Margitza adds tensile, glowing tenor lines; Dominique Di Piazza’s singing, chordal bass unlocks counterpoint and pedal‑tone drama; and Alex Acuña sculpts polyrhythms with hand percussion and drumset, dovetailing with the filigree and rasgueado of Juan Antonio Suárez “Canito.”
On our stylistic axes, the leader’s vector (w=0.5) emphasizes Timbre/Articulation and Interplay, while the remaining weights (w≈0.1 each) contribute strong Ritmic/Groove dominance (+0.1 toward Acuña/Canito), a contemporary harmonic vocabulary and idiomatic fluency across post‑bop, Latin and flamenco forms. The result is an elegant, song‑forward sound where dance‑born cadence meets chamber‑like detail—equally at ease with luminous ballads, metric modulations and buoyant vamps.

Member details

Andy James | Vocals
Timbre of satin warmth and theatrical poise; phrasing shaped by flamenco breathing and jazz rubato. Repertoire blends standards and originals with cinematic orchestrations. Interplay foregrounds dialogue with piano and tenor, with Latin/Peruvian percussion shading.
“James’ smoky, enrapturing voice is a direct conduit for the emotion of a song.” (The Urban Music Scene, 2024-04-25)

Jon Cowherd | Piano
A lyric modernist whose voicings and counter‑lines anchor the ensemble’s harmonic clarity. Alternates Rhodes/piano textures; excels at songcraft, ostinati and spacious comping that invites narrative vocals and sax interplay.
“A fantastic trio… powerful chemistry and technical wizardry.” (Filipe Freitas, JazzTrail, 2022-08-23)

Rick Margitza | Saxophone
Clear‑toned, emotive tenor with post‑bop vocabulary and long‑form melodic arcs. His lines bring glow and tensile lift over flamenco cadences, pivoting from burnished ballads to incisive vamps.
“Deeply emotive… featuring superb, clear‑toned playing.” (Jim Hynes, Making A Scene, 2021-02-03)

Juan Antonio Suárez “Canito” | Flamenco Guitar
Rasgueado finesse, hybrid compás and lyrical falsetas; bridges baile energy with modern jazz form. His touch supplies filigree, propulsion and Andalusian color within song‑first arrangements.
“Lo mejor de Canito es que su toque no se parece a ningún otro.” (Sara Arguijo, deflamenco.com, 2020-10-25)

Dominique Di Piazza | Bass
Signature “floating” right‑hand technique enabling harp‑like chords and singing melody; acts as second guitar/piano, enriching harmony and counterpoint while driving groove with elegant articulation.
“A complex right‑hand technique that has revolutionised the electric bass.” (Bass Guitar Magazine, 2009-11)

Alex Acuña | Percussion & Drums
Orchestral percussionist and jazz drummer in one body; Afro‑Peruvian roots, film‑session precision, Weather Report attack. Crafts polyrhythms that breathe with the voice and guitar.
“Alex brings humanity to the rhythm… he brings the spirit of the music.” (Brian Bromberg in DownBeat, 2022-12-27)
