Nass El Ghiwane

Nass El Ghiwane (Arabic: ناس الغيوان) are a musical group established in 1970 in Casablanca, Morocco. The group, which originated in avant-garde political theater, has played an influential role in Moroccan chaabi (or shaabi). Nass El Ghiwane were the first band to introduce Western instruments like the modern banjo. Their music incorporates a trance aesthetic, reflecting the influence of local gnawa music, and is inspired by ancient North African Sufi poetry, most prominently that of Abderrahman El Majdoub, whose work was a direct inspiration to the band. They are also credited with helping bring a new social movement to Morocco. The group was called “The Rolling Stones of Africa” by Martin Scorsese and was one of few Moroccan bands to receive international media attention.
