Ya Sidi
Nass El Ghiwane

Name: Ya Sidi
Description: Nass El Ghiwane’s Ya Sidi (1974) is No. 4 in our Gnawa ranking. The full verdict, and where to hear it.

Ranked No. 4 in Gnawa
Not a gnawa group, and unthinkable without gnawa. Nass El Ghiwane put the guinbri and the ceremony's rhythms into protest songs, and Morocco has not sounded the same since.
