Gnawa

Gnawa emerged from 17th-18th century Morocco through West African slaves from Mali, blending African rhythms with Berber melodies and Islamic chants. The genre features hypnotic rhythms, the three-stringed guembri bass, and qraqeb metal castanets creating trance-inducing soundscapes. Gnawa remains central to spiritual healing rituals called Lila, bridging ancestral traditions with Sufi devotional practices.

Spiritual House - HALS Edition

A slow, meditative journey built around OUM’s HALS (Hal1–Hal7), exploring seven emotional states—fear, confusion, desire, acceptance, expression, dreams, and empathy—shaped by the COVID era. Each HALS movement anchors the flow, with one or two carefully selected interludes by kindred artists to deepen the emotional space without breaking continuity. Rooted in low-tempo house, lofi textures, spiritual jazz, and ambient warmth, this playlist is designed for solo listening, reflection, and moments when the body is still but the mind is open.
