Nass El Hal

The Moroccan group of the 70s Nass El Ghiwane is known for having invented a style in its own right, the Ghiwani. For forty years, the pioneers of the genre have been mixing poetry, popular songs and committed to the gwana trance and the melodies of the guembri and the banjo. After influencing legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, the Rolling Stones and Robert Plant, many filmmakers, writers and musicologists such as Martin Scorsese, Georges Lapassade and Juan Solo took over their music. Two members of the band, Allal Yaala and Redouane Raifak, returned to the forefront under the name of Nass El Hal, and released a brand new intergenerational project entitled “When Will You Understand?”.
