The Gnawa world music festival is an unmissable part of the cultural calendar of the city of Essaouira and Morocco in general. It was presented as one of the best festivals in the world by the British magazine “Songlines Magazine”.
The Gnaoua music is a true Moroccan gospel and a platform for the dialogue of mystical Gnawa singers.
