Julian Belbachir is returning to Australian shores for a five show tour that will give audiences a chance to be immersed in his unforgettable live show.
These upcoming shows will take place in Byron Bay, Bellingen, Uralla, Wagga Wagga and Dubbo including Malian master guitarist Moussa Diakite and Qvln from California, USA.
Over five shows Belbachir will bring Morocco and Mali's rich musical traditions to Australian audiences, sharing the sacred sounds of traditional trance music from Northern Africa mixed with captivating soundscapes and ability to bring together artists and styles from around the world.
Belbachir has been uniting the worlds of traditional African drumming with modern-day production techniques drawing inspiration from genres such as Reggae, Funk, Hip Hop, African productions, Electronica, Jazz, Drum & Bass, Dub and Gnaoua (Indigenous Moroccan music). He is bringing home these Moroccan flavours with his own twist. Julian has spent countless hours in many of Australia’s best recording studios producing albums and tracks for the notable collaborations such as: playing on award winning Best Album of the Year in the Juno awards ‘We Are the Halluci Nation’ (2017) by A Tribe Called Red and work with Australian music heavyweights Empire of the Sun and Pnau.

This project is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
