5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant trance music, February 1, 2001

This review is from: Sabil a Salaam (Audio CD)

As a recent convert to Gnawa trance music, I took a chance when I ordered this CD on spec. The best known Gnawa musician in this country, Hassan Hakmoun, has experimented with Western musical blends, using everything from jazz to rap with varying levels of success. Nass Marrakech uses more of a European and/or Eastern blend, using instruments like the tabla, and influences more natural to my ear than those of the U.S. Using musical sources having an historical geographic connection to Morocco, such as the Iberian peninsula and West Africa, where the Gnawa are said to have originated, makes for a wonderful, almost organic sound.

Mesmerizing! Perhaps not for every taste, but I recommend it!

In Sabil 'a 'Salaam, Moroccan band Nass Marrakech combines traditional Gnawa music with West African, flamenco and Indian percussion, Japanese flutes, and many other globally derived beat elements. This high energy collection features An-a, An-ta (4:07); Yo Mala (5:48); Salaam Aleikum (4:44); Marhaba (4:15); Allah (5:27); Hamdushi (5:13); Shema (4:42); Hammeadi (11:08); and Torkalila (3:51). Sabil 'a 'Salaam is a superb addition to any personal, academic, or public library multicultural music collection.
