This review is from: Splendid Master Gnawa Musicians of Morocco (Audio CD)
The Gnawa musicians on here are absolutely wonderful, this is one of the greatest Moroccan CD's I've ever heard. Why are so many of the finest Gnawa albums going out of print? It's sad & frustating. Anyway, if you can get your hands on a copy of this, you certainly should. The whole album consists of a live-to-tape performance of traditional ceremonial music. Quite stirring.
I do have to say, though, that it's more than a little misleading to call this a Randy Weston CD. He plays on less than 10 of the album's 70 minutes (he plays at the very end of the disc). And, to my way of thinking, it feels kind of tacked on, & doesn't quite gel--his piano playing just doesn't mesh with the traditional Gnawa music. Honestly, I usually turn the CD off when it gets to the last track. But apart from that, I think the CD's nearly flawless.

This review is from: Splendid Master Gnawa Musicians of Morocco (Audio CD)
i met randy in tangiers in 1970 when i wandered into the african rhythms club and was totally transfixed by what i heard and then to speak with such a giant of talent completely swept me away. to hear this music again is like history coming back down the line. awesome. love judi
