Gnawa music has existed for more than five centuries in Morocco and has come to the point where in the words of Gnawa musician Abdenbi Binizi, 'you can find Gnawa all over the world.' Presented here is a collection that takes the listener into the history of the Gnawa, and Africa itself for that matter - into Islam with songs dedicated to praise of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad and finally to mluk, the djinn that inhabit the world of smoke¼ and at times the world of humans.
