EXPERIENCE KHAMLIA VILLAGE AND MUSICIANS

What You Can Expect :

Khamlia Gnawa music or Gnaoua music has its origins in sub-Saharan Africa. Slaves from Senegal, Sudan and Mali brought her there. The Gnawa music that we play in Khamlia is a type of very famous and special music.

ENJOY GNAWA MUSIC IN DESERT

Khamlia village is located in south-eastern Morocco. Specifically in the shadow of the Erg Chebbi. For over a hundred years it has been inhabited by a mix of Berber, Arab and different tribes of Sub-Saharan origin. In Khamlia most are the Bambara tribe. Also called Gnawas, this is how they call the descendants of slaves from black Africa.

Gnawa music is a rich repertoire of ancient African Islamic spiritual religious songs and rhythms. Its well preserved heritage combines ritual poetry with traditional music and dancing. The music is performed at 'Lila's', entire communal nights of celebration, dedicated to prayer and healing, guided by the Gnawa Maalem and his group of musicians and dancers. Though many of the influences that formed this music can be traced to sub-Saharan West-Africa, its traditional practice is concentrated in Morocco .
