Marruecos
المغرب
Veintiséis pistas instrumentales a través de Marruecos: el Sáhara, Marrakech, Fez, Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Essaouira, Tánger y las montañas del Atlas.
Tradiciones
- Andalusi classical music travelled south with the people expelled from Iberia, and is still played in Fez and Tetouan as a suite form called the nuba.
- Gnawa music, rooted in sub-Saharan West Africa, is ceremonial: the all-night lila moves through colours and spirits, carried by a three-stringed bass lute and iron castanets.
- The Amazigh traditions of the Atlas and the Rif are their own languages and their own musics, distinct from the Arabic repertoire of the cities.
- Essaouira, a port with its own festival, is where the Gnawa tradition has met jazz and other musics most openly.
Instrumentos
- Guembri — three-stringed bass lute central to Gnawa ceremony
- Qraqeb — large iron castanets that drive the Gnawa pulse
