Guembri — the deep voice of Gnawa

No transcription yet.

We don't publish a tab for Bou Yandi until a maâlem, a community contributor, or a careful by-ear transcription provides one. The earlier auto-curated patterns weren't actual transcriptions and have been removed. Listen to the real recordings below to learn the piece by ear, or try authoring your own version in the editor.

Al Sur — Maîtres du Guembri Vol. IV (Baldassarre liner notes, 1996)

Baldassarre, Antonio — liner-note translations; M’allem Sam & M’allem Hmidah (performance)

Medium confidence

The Al Sur booklet prints French and English translations only; the Arabic original is not provided and needs maâlem confirmation. Arabic form (script and/or Latin Darija) still sought from an attested source — missing is preferred to fabrication. The Casablanca (Mersaoui) school's Tréq Beidaoui — the seven-station path centred on Bel Byad — frames this song in its suite cycle. See `bibliography.ts` entry `baldassarre-alsur-vol4`.
