Master Musicians of Jajouka







I have found both inspiration and transcendence in the music of this small Moroccan hill tribe for many years now. I was first introduced to their music around the age of 18 and have been listening to them ever since. My most memorable experience was listening to their music in Brion Gysin's Paris flat opposite the Pompidou Center while looking into his own personal dream-machine for over an hour. An experience I will never forget. This is the Bachir Attar led section of the musicians live in concert in Portugal last year. Mind blowing.
