Mali To Morocco is a new album composed and arranged by Ayoub Houmanna who sings the traditional gnawa story telling and prayers for healing inherited from the times of slavery, 
The title Mali To Morocco stands for the stories or slavery and trades that happened throughout hundreds of years starting from the 10th century between Timbuktu in and North West Africa. 

In this fusion of sound Ayoub mixes both Gnawa with Jazz and Funk while keeping the traditional color of the roots music of Morocco.
