Sonic Pluriverse Festival: Global Echoes of Gnawa

The annual Sonic Pluriverse Festival explores the Moroccan Gnawa tradition as a contemporary practice. Curated by Alaa Zouiten, the event connects West African migration stories with Mediterranean and afro-diasporic resonances. The festival opens with a Gnawa parade and features daily Gnawa formations that transition into diverse musical traditions including flamenco, tarantella, and Malian music. The program highlights female perspectives and culminates in a Lila, the central spiritual ritual of Gnawa culture, alongside panels, workshops, and DJ sets.
