"Why the Gnawa Festival in Essaouira Is Morocco’s Most Soulful Event"
- Every summer, the coastal city of Essaouira transforms into a vibrant celebration of rhythm, tradition, and unity during the Gnawa and World Music Festival. This internationally acclaimed event brings together Gnawa masters, African percussionists, jazz musicians, and artists from across the globe — all on one stage.

- Gnawa music, rooted in African and Sufi traditions, is known for its hypnotic rhythms, spiritual chants, and the use of the guembri (a three-stringed instrument). At the festival, these traditional sounds blend seamlessly with genres like blues, reggae, rock, and fusion — creating magical moments of cultural dialogue.
