- Time Consuming Ep #35: Karim Ziad is an Algerian drummer, and his album "Ifrikiya" is a true gem. Fusion, mixed with some epic Moroccan instruments and grooves.
This groove, the Moroccan/Algerian Chaabi, is such an intricate one if you haven't grown up or at least spent some time absorbing it naturally. But after I started getting the hang of it I REALLY got into it.

#musiceducation #polyrhythms #karimziad - เพลง
I am a 73-year-old -musician ..the Dahan family..from Since the Inquisition of Spain.I was born in Morocco..this rhythm of 6 eighths is in my blood..it is difficult for a western musician to feel it..because of the accent of the beats on the bar. I have only in recent years discovered the bass point that characterizes the rhythm This..for example in a western style, it is very important for the bass guitar to play the notes chord in the bar from the first time. Few people on the internet describing the notes of this rhythm .. This rhythm up to a tempo of 130 is popular as the tempo is faster it already becomes magical and mystical as is customary in the barbarian tribes.
We are from Fès
Moroccan dude here. Thanks for the amazing explanation, this rhythm is so catchy it makes you dance instantly.
Man I totally agree I love it !
Awesome
For sure!
Same here what city?
Im a simple morrocan i see chaabi in title i click watch to hear the vibe
hahahahahaha best
Also, one of the things I love most about your channel is that you're hipping me to all these fantastic artists and albums I've never heard of before!
Glad you like them!
Nicely explained, Yogev, bravo. I'm the lucky piano player on "Maghreb and Friends" and "Ifrykia"...I've passed the exact same learning and "not understanding - finally understanding and all the way to improvise freely over" path when I've started working with Karim, on the "Maghreb and Friends" album. I've learned so much from playing and listening music with Karim, Michel and all other african musicians, Mokhtar Samba, Linley Marthe (he's from Mauritius, though...) etc. Here's a nice version of us doin' "The Joker" (which, by the way, is my composition...) with the same personnel as on the album "Ifrikiya" the only difference is it's not Linley Marthe but Alibo on bass. And if you haven't checked an album of our trio "BoZiLo" you might like it... it's Karim, Julien Lourau on sax and myself on piano/rhodes, a lot of chaabi fun, and not only. It's called "BOZILO LIVE"... Anyhow - here's "the Joker": th-cam.com/video/jWXGPfD7l2g/w-d-xo.html
OH BOY such an honor!!
Man you guys just killed it SO WELL in Ifrikya, I can't stop listening to that album!
And actually "The Joker" was the first song I've heard from it and the one that got me hooked!
Will listen to the trio right now.
Man thanks a lot for taking the time and watching this I'm stoked :)
Bojan ❤❤❤
Dude I just started a Gnawa - Jazz combo with some friends of mine and this video is helping me so much! Perfect timing!
Noice
EPIC! good luck!
Love the effort you make to do everything by your hands
Thanks! I try to keep things as analog as possible. Just as a challenge. Or maybe because of my awful After Effects skills.
Being from a western music mindset myself I really dig this. I remember as a small child hearing reggae for the first time and being confused by the rhythm but then I began to feel it. Same with 5/4, 7/4 and other unusual rhythms. It's like a physical sensation and I have to listen to the groove over and over and understand it's context to ever truly get it.
The clear moment in your brain when you switch from listening in 4x4 to the actual time is a magical sensation. Or maybe you counted the first beat in the wrong place but when you hear it right... Its like the stars aligning and shining apon you 😁
5/4 and 7/4 aren’t rhythms, they are time signatures.
@@spiderprint time signatures signify what rhythm a song has.
I found your channel 2 days ago, and I’m almost done binge watching everything you produced so far. The best thing I found in 2021, thank you and keep doing great work!

Greetings from a moroccan in Bogotá ! Love you Man ! Shalom
Ohh! greetings back brother!
Yo Abdo.
Yogev playing the Moroccan chaabi: Where do you hear beat one?
Me with worst stank face ever pulled rocking back and forth fortuitously: Fuck knows!!!!
Yogev: "...did you get it?"
Me: 👀
@@one4320 Me: uhh yes? (no.) **continues jamming**
**I'm pretty sure this is one of those songs that dont have any ones to speak of. It's okay to place them wherever you choose, for all the difference it makes.**
Somebody told me that once, when I asked where the one was. I thought it was classic.
@@Panurgent beat axis theory? BASED!

Great that you cover this groove, nobody talks about it and it is so cool (and that is a great Karim Ziad album)
I couldn’t agree more! Another personal favorite featuring Karim Ziad (and a constellation of other great players) is Nguyen Le’s “Maghreb And Friends”.
(I love your channel, btw)
Nguyen Le is an excellent guitarist. Shame that he doesn't get mentioned that often.
@@nickcharles6530 I imagine a lot of fusion players who don't just try to play pentatonics and shred all the time, find themselves in a vacuum between mainstream Jazz and commercial fusion.
@@stuartthorne4872 Wanna know something funny, a song in the album "Maghreb And Friends" named "Yhadik Allah" has been remade by "karim Ziad" & "Michel Alibo" themselves and a famous moroccan pop signer, and it has made a huge success in morocco, here is the remake : th-cam.com/video/El2QEy1lPFw/w-d-xo.html
Sad thing is, the majority doesn't recognize neither Karim Ziad nor the rest of the band behind that amazing groove, all the credits has been taken by the asshole signer named "Saad Lamjarred"
@@Fouad.Chaouki Thanks so much for turning me onto that! It’s a great cover (which is hardly surprising, given that the original rhythm section’s on it). It’s just a damn shame that yet another prominent artist thinks it too much to give credit to the incredible musicians that helped make his success possible.
This video is ridiculously high quality. I can't believe this isn't paid content or a TV show. You are amazing!
Comment for the algorithm because this is quality content
I am Algerian and this is pleasing to see! Discovered you from the Meshuggah videos and I love seeing this! Especially seeing Karim get even more recognition!
His brother is an amazing drummer too
His brother is a drummer?!
And for sure! I love this album !
@@YogevGabay Yes his brother Nazim is amazing!
We work with him in Algiers and rehearse in the same studio space. He has amazing chops and musical understanding.
@@Danny_Aniss Oh wow. Do you have any cool album name to share?
@@YogevGabay
You can hear Nazim plays on this th-cam.com/video/a2Dd4wSbLd8/w-d-xo.html

Respect for actually drawing on paper unlike the drawing presentation software being used by most channels nowadays
Yeah man I'm trying to keep things as analog as I can. I just way more fun
Im Tunisian (North African) and I'm very influenced by western music as well as North African music and I didn't struggle to find the groove and the pulse because it's our culture but I understood the difficulties for westerners to understand the complexity of our music
Haha, same! Oumourna mrigla 😅
i feel like I'm 7 years old again when I'm listening to it because im still completely lost after my teacher just taught me something hahah
These songs and rhythms are sooo beautiful, i will definitely check out the band. Thank you!
I cannot WAIT to watch the rest of your videos! Well done.
Snarky Puppy has a song with this groove called Xavi. When I saw them, Michael League said he prefers to count it in 4.
The last groove and vocal melody is so cool together
Really concise, well-explained, and the effort put in really shows. Would love to see some videos delving into the 'wobbly rhythms' that can't be notated and how to feel them better.
עבודה מעולה אח שלי
New playlist name : Time Confusing
hahahahah
I deeply appreciate your work! Finally the Morrocan grooves are getting the deserved attention! I've been listening to Karim for 15yrs, been to Maghrib to learn this music.... It's freaking awesome! Mzyan bezzaf khuya! Greetings from Poland
I don’t even know how to begin to explain how much I love this and how little I understand it
You actually hear this a lot in Indian music. Not in Indian classical(I'm not a 100 on this but I don't listen to classical) but more like wedding/celebratory stuff some older Indian pop stuff.
Keherwa taal
I've heard it as traditional drum beats from Kerala, India
Yeah, from India and have heard it so many times since childhood that it sort of has internalized. That is why I didn't understand why it was confusing in the first place 😅
@@amoddeshpande7075 Exactly. It was so natural to my ears hearing it growing up that I couldn't get my head around why it's complicated. :D
@@spektaloza it's similar in spirit, but keherwa has multiples of 4, while this one has multiples of 3. This could be described as a particularly embellished form of dadra, rather than keherwa.
Thank you so much for the amazing album discovery and the great educationnal content
as a morrocan living in marrakech, i hear this groove wherever i go, the city folk are always playing it and dancing to it in public gardens and i can assure you that even children master it!
Hell yeah ! It took me so long to get comfortable with it hahaha
This is the content humans need
Yes this is what they need.
@@FreeScience what THEY need👽
Absolutely awesome!!! Great vid, it got me hooked on the rhythm!
Drum and bass helped me understand the speed Fela Kuti helped me understand the rythm
HALF WAY THROUGH MY FIRST VIDEO. INSTANTLY SUBSCRIBED. I have always been curious about odd time and different rhythm patterns and literally trying to deconstruct what I know about music! This is a blessing of a channel! I already see a video about quintuplets that I will dive into anytime soon.. 😄
I just got into Moroccan music last night, upon chancing an Internet radio station. Now, I'm all over the Internet finding Moroccan, and generally North African, musics.
Man, your videos are amanzing! Thank you for sharing this amazing content!
Wow this is such an amazing video! So clear and creative way to explain this groove. Keep it up! Yes man!
AMALIYA has it for my rhythm heart, as a drummer from Finland 💙💚💜
This is simply gold
Your approach
Your humor
Your SKILLS
Your humility
Thank you brother
Ohhhh thanks ! Happy you like it !
@@YogevGabay like it?
I LOVE it
Just subscribed
I love your videos! Lots of stuff I haven’t heard anywhere else it’s great
Thank you!! I love discovering new grooves and sounds. And this one so far feels magical in how both contradictory, and thus difficult it is to feel , while also being insanely groovy and something i wanna start dancing to right away!
High chance I'll have Karim Ziad on replay for a while now, THANK YOU for intruducing me to it!
This is amazing - the rhythm, and the video. Thank you (!) for introducing this to me, and for delivering in such a clever and engaging manner. Subscribed.
I'm a classically trained cellist working on expanding my own listening and appreciation of 'different' music from the western world. This is awesome and frustrating to learn yet so oooo enjoyable. Time to check out the rest of your videos 😊. I hope to incorporate some of these great ideas into some originals to expand cello materials. Ive watched the video twice, I'm still wrapping my lowly brain around this brilliance.
Happy to have you here !
Thank you for introducing me to Karim Ziad, really enjoy his music
This is album is real masterpiece! Great video! Thank you!)))
Brilliant & fun illustration !...Thanks!! Ya, Karim Ziad is a killer, I especially like his collaborations with Nguyen Le.
Thank you for this amazing video!
What an awesome video Yogev Karim Ziad is such an amazing artist and you did the songs justice. Looking forward to more Morccan Gnawa related content! Cheers from a Moroccan in Boston!
Love this groove! Thanks for sharing I’m certainly on the hunt for more of it!
Just awesome.Thank you for fresh-ing up my mind!
Dude i’ve been jamming so hard Ifrikyia and Karim Ziad discography, thank you so much for the analysis on his music and all the work you put on this amazing video. Your teaching methods are really helpful timewise and the pacing of the videos are just perfect!
Great stuff, man! Keep it up
Oh man! Great work! Thanx for sharing!
That was awesomme. Thanx Yogev!
Really interesting to delve into these type of grooves! It's also fun to see you play examples, hope to see more of that in the future!
As a moroccan, I can feel the groove naturally..but hearing this explanation has been very eye opening. Thanks for the explanation.
Found your channel via the Clockworks video. Amazing job on the production you put into your videos man. Keep it up! Cheers.
Glad to hear that!
Chokran khoya Yogev !
great video! crazy grooves
Yogev, really cool video. You re the man.
Man, you are amazing! thanks for share so much knowledge!
thanks from brazil!!! :)
Just discovered your channel. Wow! I am so happy a channel like this exists! you are the best!!!
Earned my sub. Excellent content! Keep up the great work!
finally an explanation of this beat. i have been confused for a long time. many thanks!
Great content man, subbed after the gojira video. Keep it up!!
As an ethnomusicologist and a Moroccan who gets these beats innately, I loved this! So cool to see it broken down and never thought for a moment that it might not be so acccessible when you’re used to the strong beat being the first.
I would say your latter choice is more g août that chaâbi.
Thanks bro
Loved this video, this was sick.
This is awesome, thanks!
It makes me so happy to finally see a good video covering this rhythm. Thank you! The rhythms of Peruvian festejo are very similar. Might be a fun one to check out🤙🏼
Very cool video! Loved the visualizations of the grooves. Subscribed!
yogev you're KILLING it dude ✌️
If you ever have been on a marocan marriage, you would hear music in another way. So powerful trancing rhythms that really leave you like „whaaat?“👍🏻💃🏻
I’m not a drummer and have absolutely no sense of rhythm but damn I’m happy I found out about both this record and this channel. Great video!
Dude, I'm bouncing around the room. This is a GREAT video and I'm thrilled to finally find someone doing these kinds of breakdowns on TH-cam. Subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work thanks !!
Thanks for introducing me to all of this amazing music, I dind't know about Karim Ziad nor about Chaaby rhythms, an incredible discovery!
That was a trip - during the first half of the video I was thinking, "man, this sounds like something my old drum teacher would be into, though he probably already knows it." And then you showed a picture of him at the end! Ha! Bertram is great!
HAHAHAHA Bertram is epic no doubt
Thank you so much for explaining this
So happy I found your channel
Love the new video!
You Nailed it !! 👍👍👍
I spent a year living in Algeria. This was a treat.
Great video! I love the art and of course the music.
Thank you;))) amazing work you did ;) makes it so clear;)
Thank you for this!
This is great! Even though I didn't grew up with this kinda beat it makes me groove!
This is very well done thank you
Amazing content man!
Great as always.
Great video and so nice to see another drummer appreciate the complexity of these grooves. I've spent years studying and playing Moroccan 6's and 12's on drum kit and percussion. Nice job, t'barkallah khoiya.
Subscribed. I love your videos man! Such cool analysis.
New to the channel i am. Love it already, especially the scissors and cutouts to explain things visually, i used to do the same with a drummer friend, one night we got a bit high and accidentally spilt the cut out notes all over the floor, when we picked them up randomly and lined them up, new patterns came to LIFE.
hahahahahaha amazing
@@YogevGabay and what makes it funnier was that we had written out and cut 16 equal pieces shared between right hand and left (r)x8 and (l) x8. We were so focussed on the stickings that we didn't add them all up. So we were jamming in 15/16 and later found a piece of paper under the coffee table.. That elusive left hand note got the better of us..
@@lukoshey79 HAHAAHAHAH EVEN BETTER
Wow, so glad I landed here such beautiful music, great explanations, subscribed 😃
Damn! Your vidz and explanation style are just amazing!
So cool!!!
Amazing video. This rhythm blew my mind when I first heard it in Morocco in 2017... I have tried to do so much research but this is the clearest explanation I have found!
Thank you algorithm,
Instant sub this was a great breakdown man
Great video Yogev! Thank you for sharing this rhythm in such a creative way. Keep up the good work! Peace brother
All diferent genres that you share and explain!!! Amazing!!! I'm a little head banger myself, but learning and listening music from other cultures is amazing!!!!
Wow, incredible music, thanks for showing us. Great breakdown as well!
My pleasure!
Love it when I completely understand something and it still breaks my brain to listen to.
Awesome, thanks!!
Thanks from Italy, great stuff here!
