This was the masters first trip to Porto. The dancing piper is 78 year old Mohamed Mockchan. the dancing drummer is Ahmed Attar.
Ahmed Attar " I was a twelve year old learning drumming with my father and the Mallims. Brian Jones was very good. My father played rhiata with and for him and I danced and played my drum. He came with Hamri and Brion Gysin. He had long hair and he rubbed my head. He brought a lot to Joujouka. Besef Baraka. We will mark the 40th Anniversary of his visit here in Joujouka to honour Brian Jones and to let people come to Joujouka and see what it is like here for themselves. It is good to feel the Baraka of Sidi Ahmed Scheich. Joujouka is his country. He is the Cultivator with Lions and Healer of Crazy Minds."
The rest of the group are Mohamed El Attar, Abdeslam Boukhzar, Ahmed El Bouhsini. Abdeslam Errtoubi, Radi El Khalil, and Abdullah Ziyat.

Sounds like a parrot with good taste , thanks for this uplifting comment. Have a great weekend

WOW! This music did the most amazing thing!! My parrot was in the room and had been very quiet all morning. I'd been playing lots of music. When she heard this music, she kept repeating the same sound she makes when she sees something in the sky or that she's very intent or enamored by. How cool is that?!

The Jajouka are amazing and incredibly spiritual.

Ornette Sunrise" does not work, it sounds like he was just playing over a Jajouka recording as an experiment. Same with Randy Weston and the Splendid Gnawa Musicians on their cd together. But I still thank them for giving these fellows  exposure they might not have gotten otherwise.
