Hypnotic North African grooves meet high-energy live performance with Berber Diffusion, London’s first traditional Amazigh ensemble, filling the Jamboree dancefloor! Delivering a powerful, contemporary take on North Africa’s indigenous musical heritage, the band fuse Amazigh pentatonic melodies with the deep, trance-driven rhythms of Gnawa, drawing on centuries-old traditions of poetry, ceremony, and celebration reimagined for today’s stages with authenticity and edge.

Bridging ancient tradition and modern global energy, the Berber Diffusion sound is rooted in the rich cultural legacy of the Amazigh people. At the heart of the project is founder, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Abdellah Rais, trained in Agadir and across Morocco. Performing on guembri, qraqab, banjo, and percussion, he brings a masterful command of traditional forms alongside a forward-looking, cross-cultural approach. Uniting a dynamic lineup of African and European musicians, the band create a vibrant, cross-cultural sound that is both deeply rooted and globally resonant. They have lit up festivals and venues with their high-energy, rhythm-driven performances, delivering an electrifying live experience where heritage meets groove — authentic, uplifting, and impossible to stand still to.

Jamboree food option: Our ‘Zer’ kitchen is open from 5pm serving delicious Middle Eastern fusion food for you to enjoy a meal/snack if you wish! Find the menu HERE!
