“3 names, 3 cultures, 3 continents, 3 different concepts of time and timing – this is the essence of this trio. This is what we have to bring together. I am rather optimistic.” Peter Brötzmann, Wuppertal, 1st April 2019

With these simple words Peter Brötzmann, one of the greatest representatives in the development of a unique European approach to free improvisation since the ‘60s, announced the unprecedented trio lined up for his return to AngelicA festival in 2019. A trio in which, to the trusted Hamid Drake – one of the best living drummers and his historic collaborator since the times of the Die Like a Dog quartet –, he added Maalem Mokhtar Gania, last representative of a legendary line of Gnawa music masters from Essaouira, son of Maalem Boubker Gania and brother of Maalem Mahmoud Gania, who died prematurely and had been the protagonist with Brötzmann and Drake of an explosive trio in Wels in 1996.
The Bologna trio documented in the CD The Catch of a Ghost thrilled and surprised the attending audience with the great energy and liveliness of the sound textures created by the dialogue among the musicians, but also with the continuous ability to (re)invent itself coupled with boundless physical force of Brötzmann’s emission, who proved that at the age of 78 that he has nothing to envy to his younger self of 50 years ago, at the beginning of his career.

"3 nomi, 3 culture, 3 continenti, 3 diverse concezioni di tempo e tempismo - questa è l'essenza di questo trio. Questo è ciò che dovremo mettere assieme. Sono abbastanza ottimista." Peter Brötzmann, Wuppertal, 1 Aprile 2019

Con queste semplici parole Peter Brötzmann, uno tra i più importanti esponenti dello sviluppo di un approccio europeo unico alla libera improvvisazione fin dagli anni Sessanta, ha annunciato l’inedito trio formato per il suo ritorno al festival AngelicA nel 2019; trio che al fidato Hamid Drake - tra i migliori batteristi viventi e suo storico collaboratore fin dai tempi del Die Like a Dog quartet - ha affiancato Maâlem Mokhtar Gania, ultimo esponente di una leggendaria dinastia di maestri della musica Gnawa di Essaouira, figlio di Maalem Boubker Gania, e fratello del prematuramente scomparso Maalem Mahmoud Gania, che era stato protagonista con Brötzmann e Drake di un esplosivo trio a Wels nel 1996.
Il trio di Bologna documentato nel cd The Catch of a Ghost ha entusiasmato e sorpreso il pubblico presente per la grande energia e vivacità delle tessiture create dal dialogo tra i musicisti, ma anche per la continua capacità di (re)invenzione accoppiata a un’inesausta potenza fisica dell’emissione di Brötzmann, che ha mostrato a 78 anni di non avere niente da invidiare al suo sé degli esordi di 50 anni prima.
