Gnawa is a traditional music genre from North Africa, particularly Morocco and Algeria. It is a mix of African, Berber, and Islamic influences, and is characterized by its use of the guembri, a three-stringed lute, and the qraqeb, metal castanets. The music is often accompanied by singing and dancing, and is used in rituals to invoke spiritual healing. Gnawa music is often used in celebrations and festivals, and is a popular form of entertainment in North Africa.
