A fusion of ancestral tribal music and Saharan Blues, Daraa Tribes comes from the oasis town of Tagounite in the Daraa River Valley of Morocco, with each member originating from a different tribe, bringing with them diverse music traditions to create an eclectic style only to be found in the oases of the North African Sahara.
Releasing the album Igharman in 2018, and EPs Alwan (2017) and Zamane (2019), they has toured internationally across Europe, Africa, Russia, and Canada. The band is a Visa For Music laureate (2017), and has been featured on Radio France International and major Moroccan news outlets. Daraa Tribes’ second studio album is expected to come out in the fall of 2021.

GREAT NEWS: TORAT VOL. 1 IS OUT!

TORAT Vol. 1 from DARAA TRIBES is OUT!

Torat Vol. 1

Moroccan desert blues band Daraa Tribes releases their new EP Torat Vol. 1. It is the band’s third EP and third release with label Coral Riff Music.

‘Torat’ means ‘tradition’ in Moroccan Arabic and reflects the ancestral, traditional music that not only influenced this new release, but can be heard through traditional percussion and vocal styles in each song on the EP.

Songs like ‘Bshara’ and ‘Lghram’ come directly from traditional Hassania, Amazigh, and Daraoua ancestral customs found throughout southern Morocco and across North Africa.

This reflection and representation of traditional music is met with an eclectic modern blues/rock style apparent on each track. This is a continuation of Daraa Tribes efforts on each of the band’s previous releases to innovate upon ancestral cultural traditions, using them as a foundation for their creative process.

The band simultaneously released a lyric video for the song ‘Bshara’, translated into both Hassania Arabic and English. This song tells the story of the Aarib tribe, nomadic in origin, and their historical relationship with their surrounding environments. Major themes include a cultural, social, and economic importance placed upon camels, music customs performed by the tribal youth, and greeting other tribal members traveling from Afar. These themes are not just common among nomadic Hassania culture historically in North Africa, but are still very much part of modern cultural life in the Sahara desert of Morocco.

This young funk-fueled dynamo is a force of nature, blending genres and breaking boundaries with every note she plays and every lyric she sings. Named “the bass icon of this generation’ by Rollingstone, and “The Queen of the Bassists” by Rollingstone France, her bass lines are like a heartbeat you can dance to. But Nik isn’t just about bass – her vocals are a journey through emotions. From sultry and smooth to high-energy and electrifying, her voice tells stories that hit you right in the feels. Known for impressively recording a cover of “Back In Black” by AC/DC, Nik shocked many rock fanatics and became a new favorite of Steven Tyler.

Features include Larry Graham, Cindy Blackman-Santana, Narada Michael Walden (Whitney Houston, Santana, Sting), and more. “Catch Me If You Can” was featured on Netflix’s Virgin River and Apple TV original, Amber Brown. Her funky bass lines can also be heard in ESPN sports programs all over the world.

She has toured as the support act for George Clinton/Parliament Funkadelic. She has appeared on the covers of virtually every bass magazine and has been featured in numerous publications for People Magazine, Vanity Fair, Teen Vogue, Rollingstone, Ok! Magazine, Billboard, Afropunk and more.

“Nik West is definitely bringing back the funk groovement and I love everything about what she stands for!”

DANIELE GOTTARDO

Daniele GottardoItalian guitarist and composer, Daniele Gottardo, has developed a reputation worldwide, not just only for his virtuosity and versatility, but for the depth and sophistication of his compositions, which blend electric guitar and chamber orchestra.

Steve Vai singled Daniele Gottardo out as a favorite:

I’m often asked who is my favorite new young guitar player. Well, here he is: Daniele Gottardo. He’s Italian, and I have been following him for quite some time now. He has an elegant touch, stunning intonation, innovational style, and he honors the melody. Enjoy, and check out his record Non Temperato for a real treat.

Steve Vai, in Guitar World Magazine, January 26, 2017

As a solo artist, Daniele has produced two albums prior to INkBlot—Frenzy of Ecstasy (2010, Digital Nations) and Non Temperato (2014, self-released). His albums stand out for their highly innovative use of electric guitar within a compositional and orchestral context. Additionally, his jazz-rock trio, The Nuts, released a bold debut album, Giant Nuts (2016, self-released), a ferocious combination of chops, energy, and musical sophistication.

Daniele has served as an artistic producer for various projects, including string production for guitar legend, Jason Becker, on Triumphant Hearts (2018, Mascot Records). In 2016 he collaborated with Michael Molenda, then Editor-in-Chief of Guitar Player Magazine, and American guitarist/composer, Gretchen Menn, on Abandon All Hope, a concept album based on Dante’s Inferno that blends modern and classical instruments.

He has performed in some of the most prestigious guitar festivals, including Malibu Guitar Festival (USA, 2017), Guitare En Scene (France, 2016), Ziua Chitarelor (Romania, 2016), Jason Becker Not Dead Yet Festival (Holland, 2013), Eddie Lang Jazz Festival (Italy, 2010, 2013, 2015).

INkBlot is Daniele’s third solo album, and marks an even greater melding of high-energy electric guitar and 20th century composition.

CHRISTIAN GALVEZ

Christian GalvezChristian Galvez is directly related with the generation of electric bass players of the post-Pastorius era.

Gálvez playing is closely related with colleagues like John Patitucci and Stanley Clarke, influences where Christian starts from, going into other personal universes, thanks to his original virtuoso style, colorful and musical, where the use of harmony and chords at highest level are a key part of his own language; style that comes close to great geniuses of the “chord melody” as Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, George Benson and Pat Martino.

His vision of the electric bass as harmonic instrument is unrivaled: “His bass is not only a bass, but pretty much a guitar with bass strings … Galvez does everything a guitarist can do, but when its time to be bass player he plays all what a bass is able to play.

Christian Galvez is currently promoting his last project album “The Art of Chord Melody“, album edited by Pez Records in date 14/06/2019.

“Since 2005 he worked closely with the Argentine guitarist Luis Salinas, and national accompanied great musicians like jazz fusion drummer Billy Cobham or the bassist Stanley Clarke. The meeting between the two musicians came to fruition in early 2007 and resulted in the departure of Gálvez to Los Angeles as member of the Stanley Clarke Electric Band. with which he was in tour worldwide during the next three years. Very active as teacher, he creates the Escuela Superior de Jazz and he plays with his Christian Galvez Quartet in the whole Latin America. He toured the world for around 7 years with América Comtemporánea, one of the most important latin American projets of the las 20 years. He’s member of the Masters of Bass with Gary Willis, Dominique di Piazza and Hadrien Feraud, of the Frank Gambale Quartet and recently of Paolo di Sabatino Trace Elements, alongside with drummers as Peter Erskine, Dennis Chambers and Jojo Mayer. He is currently part of the Billy Cobham Band, touring Europe with the legendary drummer.

He has recorded 13 albums and 3 DVD with Pez Records label, plus his Concert N. 1 for bass and symphony orchestra (the first concert for bass and orchestra in the world) that Christian already performed live together with the most prestigious orchestras in Chile, Bolivia, Panama at most important festivals of Latin America. At today Galvez is for sure the best bass player in Latin America and makes part of the selected small group of the best bass virtuosos of the planet.

Dennis ChambersDENNIS CHAMBERS

Dennis Chambers (born May 9, 1959) is an American drummer who has recorded and performed with John Scofield, George Duke,Brecker Brothers, Santana, Parliament/Funkadelic, John McLaughlin, Niacin, Mike Stern, CAB, Greg Howe, and many others. Despite a lack of formal training, Chambers has become well known among drummers for his technique and speed.[citation needed]Chambers is particularly regarded for his ability to play “in the pocket” but can also stretch very far out of the pocket which is also a hallmark of his technique.[citation needed] Chambers exhibits a powerful style that is technically proficient, yet highly musical and groove-oriented.[citation needed] He can play in a wide variety of musical genres, but is perhaps most notable for his jazz-fusion, funk, and Latin music playing. He is mostly known for his fast hands and triplets on the bass drum. He has helped many young drummers, the most prominent being Tony Royster, Jr.

In 2007, just before Led Zeppelin were scheduled to play at the O2 Arena in London, John Bonham’s son Jason was asked in an interview that if he himself were to pass up the opportunity, which drummer would he recommend to fill the coveted drum throne. His reply was ‘If I were to choose, I would probably want a jazz drummer with a strong swing feel. You know what – Dennis Chambers. I think he would “get it”, whereas other rock drummers wouldn’t.’

In an interview by Bonedo in 2011 Dennis Chambers was asked who some of his influences and favorite drummers were and he mentioned Clyde Stubblefield, Al Jackson Jr.,Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Gary Husband, Jack Dejohnette, Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes, and Tony Williams.

He performed on the critically acclaimed Maceo Parker live album “Roots and Grooves” album with long time friend Rodney “Skeet” Curtis (bass) and the WDR Big Band. He has toured extensively with Carlos Santana and makes appearances with his band Niacin.

He plays and endorses Pearl drums, pedals, hardware & racks, Zildjian cymbals, Zildjian drumsticks & general accessories and Evans drumheads. 

Chambers began drumming at the age of four years, and was gigging in Baltimore-area nightclubs by the age of six. He was recruited in 1981 by the Sugar Hill Label to be their “house drummer.” Dennis plays on many Sugar Hill releases .  In 1978 (at 18 years old) he joined Parliament/Funkadelic, and stayed with them until 1985. In 1986 he joined the John Scofield band. Since then he has played with most of the major figures in jazz fusion music. 

On August 26, 2011 Chambers appeared as a featured drummer on the Late Show with David Letterman’s Drum Solo Week II, alongside other such notable players as Tony Royster, Jr., Gavin Harrison, Neil Peart and Stewart Copeland.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Fresha Trio: A Musical Fusion of Jazz, Pop, Soul, and Funk

The Fresha Trio is a project that brings together the immense talent and versatility of three renowned musicians, resulting in a formation that transcends traditional jazz boundaries. With strong influences from pop, soul, and funk, the Fresha Trio promises an experience that spans genres, appealing to a wide and diverse audience. It is only 50% jazz; the other half ventures into more accessible, modern sounds, thanks to each member’s unique background and creative outlook.

Frescia Belmar: A Voice Bridging Generations of Soul and Jazz

Frescia Belmar is more than just a vocalist; she is a storyteller, weaving deep, compelling tales with a tone that evokes the warmth of soul and the emotional depth of jazz. Her career spans collaborations from Anita Tijoux to Herbie Hancock, and even ventures into pop and R&B realms with Janelle Monáe and Karol G. This breadth allows her to bring a unique blend of influences to the Fresha Trio, merging soulful tradition with fresh, original approaches that captivate any audience.

In the Fresha Trio, Frescia’s voice does more than carry melody and lyrics; it serves as the emotional core, an expressive tool that resonates deeply with listeners. Her ability to blend soft tones with powerful delivery allows her to fit seamlessly into jazz dynamics while bringing a pop approach that makes her style accessible and engaging. Her warm, enveloping timbre evokes a strong connection with audiences, infusing the trio’s sound with a rare and valuable storytelling quality.

Bobby Sparks: A Harmonic Journey Through Groove and Modernity

If the Fresha Trio has a heart rooted in the worlds of funk and contemporary soul, that role falls to Bobby Sparks. With a career that includes collaborations with legends like Prince, Marcus Miller, Roy Hargrove, and Snarky Puppy, Sparks brings to the project a musical awareness that allows him to navigate complex jazz harmonies and infectious funk rhythms effortlessly.

Known for his mastery of keyboards—especially synthesizers and the Rhodes—Bobby creates a soundscape in the Fresha Trio that is simultaneously familiar and innovative. His skill in crafting “musical atmospheres” and playing with rhythms makes him a true alchemist of groove. His influence extends beyond jazz, embracing pop and soul tones that enrich the trio’s music and make it instantly engaging. Every performance is a journey where Sparks combines technical brilliance and emotional expression, immersing the audience in a sound palette that spans funk and jazz while keeping a modern, accessible edge.

Dennis Chambers: The Rhythmic Force Bridging Tradition and Innovation

Dennis Chambers is a drumming legend, an artist who brings a rhythmic depth to the Fresha Trio that transforms each song into a complete sensory experience. With collaborations spanning icons like Santana, John Scofield, Parliament-Funkadelic, and Steely Dan, Chambers brings a groove that is as solid as it is precise. His versatility makes him an ideal fit for the Fresha Trio, effortlessly shifting from intricate jazz rhythms to powerful funk structures.

In the Fresha Trio, Dennis’s drumming isn’t just accompaniment; it becomes a rhythmic voice that dialogues with Sparks’ keyboards and Frescia’s vocals, creating an interplay that transcends genre boundaries. His ability to craft deep grooves and adapt to tempo and style changes makes the trio’s music dynamic and ever-evolving. Chambers brings funk energy and jazz precision, while keeping an openness to pop and soul that makes each piece both accessible and impactful.

The Fresha Trio Experience: A Genre-Bending Musical Journey

The Fresha Trio is much more than just a band; it is a musical exploration. The blend of jazz, pop, soul, and funk creates a unique sound that engages both sophisticated music lovers and a broader audience drawn to the melody and rhythm of pop and soul. The fusion of Frescia, Bobby, and Dennis’s influences makes every Fresha Trio performance an unrepeatable event, a window into a soundscape unafraid to push genre boundaries.

Each performance is a chance to see these three artists at work, in a continuous dialogue with each other and with the audience. The Fresha Trio’s music unfolds organically, leaving room for improvisation and creativity while maintaining a clear direction toward a sound that blends virtuosity and accessibility. This is jazz that honors tradition yet looks toward the future, incorporating pop and funk elements that keep it fresh and current.

The Promise of the Fresha Trio: A Complete Musical Experience

The Fresha Trio is a rarity in today’s music scene—a group capable of merging diverse genres while maintaining a strong, recognizable identity. Frescia Belmar’s engaging and enveloping voice, Bobby Sparks’ alchemy of keyboards, and Dennis Chambers’ powerful rhythms come together to create a complete, immersive musical experience. Whether you are a jazz enthusiast, a pop lover, or a soul fan, the Fresha Trio will capture your heart with a rich, intense, and boundless sound.

Each concert by the Fresha Trio is a journey that invites listeners to explore diverse musical landscapes, where groove meets melody, and jazz improvisation merges with pop structure, creating a universal musical language that transcends genres.
