History Repeating,
By
This review is from: The Master Musicians of Jajouka Featuring Bachir Attar (Audio CD)
Already public knowledge via people as diverse as William S. Burroughs, The Rolling Stones, Ornette Coleman, and Bill Laswell, the "master musicians" of Jajouka are now entering the new millenium via Asian Underground star Talvin Singh. It should be kept in mind that this CD belongs to the Morroccan musicians (if mediated by headman/promoter Bachir Attar), NOT to Talvin Singh. The alternation of Talvin-style grooves with more straight-ahead music of Jajouka--from raw field recordings to a female chorus and even a taksim (improvisation)--seem to propel Jajouka into the future without producing yet another ethnic remix album. Sure, the Talvin-produced tracks aren't nearly as hard-hitting as many on "OK," and the field tracks are pretty decontextualized. This is an album best heard in the whole, and I can't help but think visually when I listen to it, like some sort of futurist/Morroccan "Latcho Drom," with all the immediate rewards and dangers. It is not a perfect album, but it does well to keep the long-visible musicians of Jajouka a part of the contemporary scene.

The Future Is Now,

This review is from: The Master Musicians of Jajouka Featuring Bachir Attar (Audio CD)
This is an utterly enchanting release, which merges the voices & musical instruments of Bachir Attar and the Master Musicians of Jajouka with the electonica vision of Talvin Singh.
Singh utilizes a vast landscape of clubland beats, but the selections never stray from the warmth and rhythms of the Master Musicians. While the focus is on the folkloric history passed down through generations, the production points to the future through intelligent production and a presence of mind to truly let the music do the talking.

A album you can listen to time and time again.,
This review is from: The Master Musicians of Jajouka Featuring Bachir Attar (Audio CD)
I can't believe this album is out of production. Well I bought this album way back during the launch in 2000 when I was 13, and now that I am 22 I am still listening to it at least once a month, and I am a person who buys nearly a hundred albums per yr. I think that can really tell you about the magic of this album. Superbly produced and irreplaceable.
