Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gnawa Diffusion formed in the early 1990s around Haj Mohammed Boulila, a Gnawa master from Morocco. They worked with the Gnawa tradition, a Sufi-influenced practice with roots in Sub-Saharan Africa, and brought it into conversation with contemporary instruments like electric guitars and synthesizers.
Their song 'Gazel Au Fond de La Nuit' shows their approach, using Gnawa rhythms and vocals in a modern setting. The group split in 2000, with Boulila forming his own ensemble while others kept the name. Both sides continued performing, and there have been occasional collaborations since.
Their recordings include tracks like 'Je Voudrais Être Un Fauteuil' and 'Ombre-Elle', which carry forward their blend of traditional and contemporary sounds without settling into a fixed formula.
