Amo la musica #Gnawa per la sua forza ipnotica, radicata nel rito e nella trance. È un ponte tra Africa nera e mondo arabo, tra dolore e liberazione. Il #guembri, con le sue tre corde e il corpo scavato nel legno, vibra come un cuore antico. Non accompagna: guida. È tamburo e basso, parola e respiro. Suonarlo è stare in ascolto di qualcosa che viene da lontano e chiama dentro. #musictherapy

« Je n’ai pas gagné des millions de dirhams / pour être riche et honoré. / Je n’ai pas dirigé des millions d’hommes / pour voler au dessus des autres comme un roi. / Je n’ai pas couru comme un fou à l’aube. / Je prends feu, de moi-même, en dedans, / ton verre et mon verre remplis de thé sucré. / Mon frère, mon ami, me voilà. / Moi, c’est la vie qui a été mon école, /moi, c’est le peuple qui m’a formé.
