GIG: Saturday at Joe's Pub ($20)

Hassan Hakmoun is one of Morocco’s greatest musical exports. Since he moved to the US in 1987, he’s been busy mixing the traditional melodic sounds of his homeland with jazz, western classical, soul and blues. The hypnotic results are evident on new track "Balili (My Father)."

Hassan Hakmoun is at Joe’s Pub tomorrow night to celebrate the release of his new record called Unity.
