Moroccan music, inspired by Gnawa rituals, said to be therapeutic. Call-and-response singing, accompanied by the bass gimbri (lute) and metal castanets, called qraqebs, as well as other lutes and percussion.
This song was inspired by the beginning of a ritual. It is the moment of cleansing the space. We sing the 'cleansing of the space' ("liberation") in preparation for the ritual. In Gnawa beliefs all space and air is unclean with bad spirits. It is necessary to cleanse the space. Male Vocals, Middle East, Morocco
