track 1 & 5 [part 1] recorded by Paul Bowles, 1978
the remainder recorded by Randall Barnwell, 1990
this marvelous publication was initially of interest to me because of Paul Bolles. the recordings he made in Morocco in the 70's & namely 'The Music of Morocco' 2xLP he curated for the Library of Congress, bear the reputation of being exceedingly evocative. regrettably i have never heard that release, but one listen to the first cut on this set, a street procession recorded by Paul from a rooftop in Tangiers in 1978, only furthers my interest in tracing the 2xLP. kindly keep your ears to the ground & let me know if you can help :) the remainder of the recordings herein are equally interesting & resonate deep down. weeks will pass when i don't hear this record, but then a tune randomly pops on & i am reminded how head swirling the proceedings can get. 320 entranced exaltations to Janas
