Gnawa music, legacy of enslaved Black Africans, surges in popularity

Hundreds of thousands of music fans visit Morocco each year for the Gnawa and World Music Festival. The ancient music, often dubbed Moroccan Blues, is the legacy of enslaved Black Africans in Morocco. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
