The Gnawa play deeply hypnotic trance music, led by low-pitched, rhythmic guembri melodies, call-and-response singing, hand-clapping and metal "castanets" called qraqebs. The music is a mixture of religious Arabic songs and African rhythms - ancient spiritual music with West African roots. Colour photos plus info in English, German, French and Spanish.
