Black Like Me: Amazighs/Gnawa Wedding in Morocco

The Gnawa are an ethnic group who were brought to Morocco as slaves, and their ancestry is traced to parts of West Africa.
Moroccan and Hausa cultures are connected both religiously, as both are Malikite Muslims, with many Moroccan spiritual schools active in Hausaland, and artistically, with Gnawa music being the prime example of typical Hausa music within Morocco.

Zagora is a town located in the Draa River valley in the Moroccan region of Drâa-Tafilalet. On the base of the Zagora mountain the remains of an Almoravid fortress can still be seen.
