Gnawa music is a spiritual and entrancing art form rooted in the rituals and rhythms of the descendants of African slaves in Morocco. Characterized by its hypnotic grooves and soulful chants, the genre traditionally relies on the guembri (a three-stringed lute), krakebs (metallic castanets), and the melodic cadence of call-and-response singing. Although initially a form of healing and sacred Sufi expression, modern Gnawa reflects a fusion with contemporary styles, illustrated by artists like Nass El Ghiwane's incorporation of political lyrics, and Gnawa Diffusion's blend of reggae and Algerian rai. The genre's magnetic allure has spilled onto global music scenes, captivating audiences with its rich cultural heritage and propulsive beats, while still preserving its ancestral and mystical essence.
