The Spiritual Music of Issawa ft. Sidi Adil El Gouchi
Recorded Live in Fez, Morocco
Premiering March 22nd, 2025
Issawa music originates from the centuries-old Tariqa of Issawa, a Sufi order founded in Meknes, Morocco. This powerful spiritual tradition is distinguished by collective hymns, piercing trumpets, and an intricate web of polyphonic drumming—creating trance-inducing soundscapes. Their elaborate ritual ceremonies, woven with symbolic dances and rhythmic intensity, are designed to awaken the faithful, both literally and spiritually. For this LILA Session, we welcomed Sidi Adel El Gouchi, who guided us into the depth and resonance of this sacred music tradition.
