Tribe Ahl Serif: Master Musicians of Jajouka, recorded on location by Arnold Stahl in 1971

[Multicore]

Perhaps you dig the Brian Jones LP, the Ornette Coleman recording with them, or the Laswell CD, or maybe you have some other connection to the Master Musicians of Jajouka. If so, this 2xLP should be of interest. Accomplished music writer Stephen Davis mentioned it in a very interesting blog.

Third (and perhaps most important) is Tribe Ahl Serif: Master Musicians of Jajouka (Musical Heritage Society, circa 1976). This is a two-record set made by Arnold Stahl around 1971, when a Danish film crew was working in the village. The second record in this set consists of about 25 minutes of the Boujeloudiya, or music for the goat god Bou Jeloud, which formerly danced in the village during the Aid el Kebir festival. The recording quality is excellent, and it features the large formation – 20 rhaitas and about 15 drummers – that Brian Jones recorded, and that I later chronicled beginning in 1973.

It's great!

I got a copy, made a digital transfer, made hi-res images, OCRed the sleeve notes, and put it on both Substack and Youtube.
