The origin of Blues, Gnawa is an African Sufi mystical music combining lyrics with pentatonic rhythms invoking ancestors and the spirits of nature to promote healing through trance.
Originally practiced by Africans during slavery and the slave trade dating back to the 11th century, Gnawa music today remains an intangible heritage.
