about

CD: 56 minutes / DVD: 35 minutes

Some consider the Gnawa to be an underclass in Moroccan society, but they nonetheless play a vital role in its spiritual life. Recorded and filmed in Marrakech in 2005, Ouled Bambara: Portraits of Gnawa is an exploration of that role through profiles of some of its most talented musical actors.
