Club d’Elf: “Masada”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Recorded live in the studio at Chillhouse! It’s Club d’Elf with our highlighted track “Masada,” a world jazz exploration that features “the sintir (or guembri), a 3-string bass lute that comes from the Gnawa tradition of trance healers in Morocco.” Where is the Chillhouse anyway? Charlestown, baby! Watch for some mantric, psych vocals delivered about halfway through the 8-minute jam. A few words offered before the song gets swallowed back into the jam wormhole.

Stream, share, buy to your heart’s content.
