The meeting of two musical cultures, of two worlds, one electronic and one traditional, is the story told by the collaboration of artists Adil Smaali and Lakay. The idea of this creation was born to pay homage to the Moroccan roots of the Hadra association in Grenoble, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Hadra", the "presence" (in Moroccan dialect) or the "Sufi ritual" of the same name, calls for a spiritual quest, letting go and trance. These are also the values defended by the association since its beginnings, working for the promotion and recognition of electronic and psychedelic culture, such as psytrance music.

Influenced by their various professional and musical experiences, this union calls for dancing and meeting. Punctuated by gnawa singing, guembri and percussion rhythms, samples and digital repetitive loops (recorded during the trip to Morocco), this fusion of styles brings souls together for a unique performance. Accompanied by a scenographic and video universe reminiscent of Moroccan landscapes and traditional Gnawa rituals, the artists Lakay and Adil come together for a spellbinding, original musical project.
