Anyone interested in transformational music-buy this cd. Just buy it, count your pennies and do so; it's an investment in yer ongoing evolution...Probably safe to say that the music on this cd is timeless, recorded 30+ years ago, sounds like something from the year after tomorrow.
Should come with a disclaimer, something like, "Caution: This music may produce heart palpitations, wild thoughts, and urges to dance madly around bonfires."
Definitely NOT left-brain music. My guess is that even the most strait-laced might find their temporal-spatial perceptive abilities 'somewhat' altered during their auditioning of this cd, and for some time thereafter. Watch for psi effects.
The book "Jajouka Rolling Stone", by Stephen Davis is a good companion volume to this recording.
Frankly, I'm amazed that this cd is still legal to own. It's THAT good.

This is the record that started the interest in Jajouka. Since most was already said, I will just add what I think is missing from other reviews. The Jajouka village is Arabic-speaking, not Berber, and definitely not "Aramaic". Their traditions are typical of whole Morocco, which is an amalgalm of Andalusian/Arabic influence, Islam, and of course the ancient traditions of Berbers of North Africa. I think this is the best record about Jajouka since it sounds like a live recording of what could have been an eternal night. The instruments are solely ghaita (Moroccan oboe) as well as tbel and bendir percussions.
Many Jajouka records have sprung after this one, some are good and some are not, but this one is a must have.
If you like this music, check out other Berber records and make sure you go to Morocco to attend the various traditional music festivals throughout the year!

This album...the very pipings of Pan, the ancient and forgotten rites of Lupercalia, discovered in 20th Century Morocco by Beatnicks, Junkies and Hippies? ABSOLUTELY.
The sounds made in this album send chills up my spine. This album reminds us that not only is the world stranger than we know, it is weirder than we CAN know. Everything is True. Nothing is Forbidden. These tapes will cause cold winds to blow through the canyons of your mind. The state of Pan is that of "Panic", and that is what you hear in these "songs."
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards caused this album to be posthumously released after Brian Jones unfortunate drowning/murder in the swimming pool of the house where A.A. Milne wrote Winnie-the-Pooh. Brian recorded these tapes several months before his death, intending to release them.

Live trance on disc
First, this disc is not for the faint at heart; even if you like world music and freejazz it is difficult to listen to. It requires a trancedental state of mind, I guess. Read more

Magical music
I bought the original album (better cover!) on vinyl in 1973 and nearly wore it out. The music was so gripping, so timeless and cross-cultural it made me want to hear more. Read more
