Gnawa music is a mixture of African, Berber and Arabic religious songs and rhythms. The music is both a prayer and a celebration of life.
In Moroccan popular culture, Gnawas, through their ceremonies, are considered to be experts in the magical treatment of scorpion stings and psychic disorders. They play deeply low-toned hypnotic trance music and dance to evoke ancestral saints who can drive out evil.
