MUSICAL BROTHERHOODS FROM THE TRANS-SAHARAN HIGHWAY (60 Minutes)
"Hisham Mayet's latest film showcases an assortment of spectacular musical dramas presented live and unfiltered on the home turf of the world's most dynamic string/drum specialists performing and manifesting the ecstatic truth! Ancient mystical brotherhoods have been flourishing for centuries in and around the cities of Marrakesh and Essaouira in Morocco where the trade caravans have gathered from their long journeys across the Trans-Saharan Highway. This is some of the last great street music on Earth.

That guy in the end with the electric oud at 2:43 and the amp HAS TO BE SIGNED by some label. I saw him some years ago, and he sounds like nothing else on Earth.
The opening track is played by Jamal Baba, a resident of Essaouira. He's playing Guenbri (otherwise known as Sintir or Hajhuj)and the musical style is Gnawa, or Gnaoua. It is indeed music designed to induce trance states to allow healing through possession and exorcism. He is an outstanding exponent of this music, with his own unique style. VERY difficult to play in this manner WHILST singing. Haven't seen the film myself, would love to...
