An overnight Gnawa journey in the Rif Mountains
When the mountains grow quiet, the qraqeb begin to speak. Djebli Club invites audiences to an overnight Gnawa Lila led by Maâllem Hammoud and Temarawit Group on Saturday, 25 July 2026.
Beginning at 8:00 PM and continuing until 3:00 AM on Sunday, the gathering is conceived as an immersive cultural experience rather than a conventional concert. The guembri, qraqeb, ancestral rhythms and spiritual chants of the Gnawa tradition will shape a long-form musical journey built through repetition, dialogue and collective energy.
Music, landscape and collective experience
Set within the landscapes of Mokrisset and the Rif Mountains, the night brings music, nature and human connection together. Maâllem Hammoud and Temarawit Group will guide the audience through a repertoire rooted in Gnawa heritage, while Djebli Club provides the distinctive setting of a rural cultural space committed to artistic creation, exchange and transmission.
Practical information
The event starts on Saturday, 25 July at 8:00 PM and ends on Sunday, 26 July at 3:00 AM. The original announcement does not specify admission prices or booking arrangements, so visitors should confirm practical details directly with Djebli Club before travelling.
