Seeing Gnawa performed on video is definitely a treat. This music is traditionally played in hash-fueled, all night sessions. Those seeking to hear more of this sound should check out blogs such as "Moroccan Tape Stash" and record label "Sublime Frequencies".

Excellent and transformative....one of the best kept secrets of world music.

I love many ethnic musics including this type of music. Unfortunately the camerawork was overly-amateurish, especially in the last part of the movie. Lots of awkward and unnecessary movements plus no establishing shots to have a sense of all the musicians. If it had been better done I would have given it 5 stars.
