Karim Alaoui (Moulay Abdelkrim Lamraani Alaoui) learned Gnawa culture and spirituality from his father, the master musician Moulay Hassan of the Casablanca Gnawa. Karim has performed in Morocco, Europe, North America and the Caribbean with Maâlem H'mida Boussou, Maâlem Saam and with his own ensembles, as well as with world-renowned composer Philip Glass and rai star Khaled.

Karim is a young master of the sintir (also called hahjouj or guimbri), an instrument which serves as both bass and percussion. It is a bass lute, which is made with goat-gut strings and the skin from the neck of a camel. Other traditional instruments are the tbel (bass drum), karkabas or qraqeb (metal castanets), handclaps, and call-and-response vocals. Dance and acrobatics are an important aspect of the performance as well.

Karim is the visionary of Sout Al Ghorba (literally, "The Sound of Immigrants"), which has been active in New York City and on the East Coast since 1999, performing to ecstatic crowds who are always pleased to learn of the positive music and spirituality of the Gnawa of Morocco. Other performers are Karim's cousin Achmed Alaoui and Mohamed Bachar, who has performed and recorded with Nass Marrakech.

The lila ceremony uses the elements of music, dance, color, scent, costumes and food in ceremonies, to heal the afflicted and exorcise evil spirits through a state of trance. The songs are in praise of Allah, the Prophet Mohammed, and many Gnawa spirits.
