Mahmoud learned this craft as a youth along with his brothers, walking from village to village, performing ceremonies with his father Boubker and was one of the few masters (Maleem) who continued to practice the Gnawa tradition strictly for healing (the central ritual of the Gnawa is the trance music ceremony – with the purpose of healing or purification of the participants). With 30 cassette releases of music from the Gnawa repertoire with his own ensemble and performances at every major festival in Morocco, including performing for the King in various contexts, Maleem Mahmoud Ghania was also one of Morocco's most prominent professional musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1994, Bill Laswell and Pharoah Sanders went to Mocrocco, equipped with just some mobile recording devices, to record Ghania and a large ensemble of musicians (to a good part family members) in a very intimate set up at a private house with the legendary free jazz musician contributing his distinctive tenor saxophone sounds that gained him highest praise as a truely spiritual soul right from the days of playing with John Coltrane and his wife Alice and on seminal solo albums like \u003ci\u003eKarma\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aptly titled \u003ci\u003eThe Trance of Seven Colors\u003c\/i\u003e ranks among the best Gnawa recordings ever released, made it onto the list of \"10 incredible percussive albums from around the world\" by Thevinylfactory.com and is 25 years after its original CD release on finally available on vinyl!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zehra","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2.","offer_id":50389800059211,"sku":"1131841","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/the-trance-of-seven-colors","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
