In the Maghreb, the "ziara" is a spiritual ritual where people seek to exorcise demons, purify the body, and reaffirm their faith in God, the prophet, and divinities. Led by the Gnawa, descendants of African slaves who created a mixed-race brotherhood, these rituals combine music, dance, and chanting to enter a trance, reminiscent of voodoo. The Gnawa practice therapeutic music with the guembri, an acoustic bass, and captivating rhythms, with the aim of healing physical and spiritual ailments. This tradition is experiencing a resurgence of artistic interest in Morocco, notably with the group Nass El Ghiwane, which faithfully recreates the Gnawa atmosphere. So don't hesitate, quickly enter the trance with them.
