- 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 - Hudba
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
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": czcams.com/video/jWXGPfD7l2g/video.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 ❤❤❤
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!

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!
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 : czcams.com/video/El2QEy1lPFw/video.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.
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.
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!
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.
Greetings from a moroccan in Bogotá ! Love you Man ! Shalom
Ohh! greetings back brother!
Yo Abdo.
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!

Comment for the algorithm because this is quality content
This video is ridiculously high quality. I can't believe this isn't paid content or a TV show. You are amazing!
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
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 czcams.com/video/a2Dd4wSbLd8/video.html
@@YogevGabay I am llllllwlwk Babu wala video
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!
The last groove and vocal melody is so cool together
New playlist name : Time Confusing
hahahahah
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.
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 don’t even know how to begin to explain how much I love this and how little I understand it
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👽
Snarky Puppy has a song with this groove called Xavi. When I saw them, Michael League said he prefers to count it in 4.
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
I cannot WAIT to watch the rest of your videos! Well done.
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 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.
AMALIYA has it for my rhythm heart, as a drummer from Finland 💙💚💜
Drum and bass helped me understand the speed Fela Kuti helped me understand the rythm
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
Just discovered your channel. Wow! I am so happy a channel like this exists! you are the best!!!
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!
Thank you for introducing me to Karim Ziad, really enjoy his music
This groove sounds like the code on the internet router
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!
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.
Just awesome.Thank you for fresh-ing up my mind!
Brilliant & fun illustration !...Thanks!! Ya, Karim Ziad is a killer, I especially like his collaborations with Nguyen Le.
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!
Thank you so much for the amazing album discovery and the great educationnal content
"When this groove is played to a western ear, it can very easily flip in our heads and sound like this"
Me, not noticing the difference: Well shit
Thank you so much for explaining this
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 CZcams. Subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.. 😄
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!
I spent a year living in Algeria. This was a treat.
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!
I could just chill and listen to this groove for a long time. So clean
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!
This is album is real masterpiece! Great video! Thank you!)))
Oh man! Great work! Thanx for sharing!
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 !
This is like the Smarter Every Day backwards bicycle
hahahaha exactly !
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
Absolutely awesome!!! Great vid, it got me hooked on the rhythm!
That was awesomme. Thanx Yogev!
This is simply gold
Your approach
Your humor

Blows my (western) mind! So much new stuff to hear and learn... Without you, I would search the one forever
You Nailed it !! 👍👍👍
Yogev, really cool video. You re the man.
Thanks for introducing me to all of this amazing music, I dind't know about Karim Ziad nor about Chaaby rhythms, an incredible discovery!
I didn't know Karim Ziad, I predict I'm gonna obsess over him for weeks. Thanks for introducing us to such fantastic music!!
Beautiful groove
Great content man, subbed after the gojira video. Keep it up!!
incredible job! this is one of my favorite grooves, but you are the first one I've seen that ever explained it so clearly and detailed, and actually gave it a name ;)
Wow, thanks!
Fantastic video thank you so much.
Really well explained. Thanks
Thnx! Very interesting and done well!

So happy I found your channel
I searched for this for years , thank you so much man ❤
Glad I could help!
This is awesome, thanks!
Amazing job
finally an explanation of this beat. i have been confused for a long time. many thanks!
4:49 holy shit that's why I always thought my moroccan grandma clapped to music on the off beat. I was in the wrong and couldn't correctly find the 1 because I'm not used to moroccan music, but she actually was in the right! This is so cool. Thanks so much for the video
Bro, Moroccan grandmas are the truth and nothing but the truth.
@@YogevGabay i will never question my grandma ever again
