THE MESMERIZING MUSIC

Once in a trance, the members of Gnaoua's famous hypnotizing troupe can perform physical feats like this fluttering artist more than 2 meters above the ground without him making any effort.

This astonishing photo was taken within the 21st edition of Gnaoua and World Music Festival (23/06/18).

Since its creation in 1998, the Gnaoua Festival has placed Africa at the heart of its program and in the centre of the continent’s ancient port of Essaouira. Countless artists have answered the call to join the maâlems for unforgettable fusions and residencies, reminding us that the art of Gnaoua, like all the world’s music, has its origins in the cradle of humanity.
