These ancient tunes, sung a capella by the woman of Tetuan, Morocco, are undeniably authentic, yet probably too stark in their rendering to be of interest outside of devoted cultural historians, and the most diehard listeners. It's cool on a folkloric level, but I couldn't listen to it for very long.
