Amazing. I was listening to Mahmoud Guinia and - almost at random had a look at your blog, which I haven't checked out for a while - and there at the top of the pile was an MG album I didn't know. Thanks for the synchronicity!
I'm afraid the cd cover only has English translations of the song titles, and even these may not be too reliable. There are no dates for either recording or release. I'm not sure where you would go about trying to find a discography of this chap, but I know that in Morocco, and especially in Essaouira, there seem to be an endless stream of different Mahmoud cd's on sale. And then there's the cassettes...
thanks a lot for the gnawa's music,i was looking for some gumbri on the net and then i found you thank you very much for sharing your "good taste"with us
if you can handle torrents, there's a 2.49GB one with various gnawa stuff over @ demonoid. most of it is the usual stuff, or worse, but some are worth digging out.
The music is, of course, for evaluation purposes only. If you like what you hear then go out and try and buy stuff...or something, give money to a down on his luck musician, or sponsor a good busker, it may be the start of something beautiful.
If any of the zips die, then post a comment and i'll try to repost. And leave comments, abuse, name calling, any response is welcome.
I think all of the albums posted are currently unavailable, but if this is not the case we'll remove the offending files.

Hope you enjoy this one swine...its one of my favourites.
Same thoughts as Swine... hadn't checked out the blog in a while, and just happen to stop by and find a MG album I'd never even known existed.
Question: Any information on the date of this recording?
