Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Writer William Burroughs referred to them as a "4000-year old rock & roll band". They were a defining influence on mid-60s Rolling Stones. They are the Master Musicians of Jajouka. Talvin Singh took up the challenge of collaborating with the Master Musicians of Jajouka shortly after winning the 1999 Mercury Music Prize. The Master Musicians of Jajouka are an all-male group from Morocco who have received royal patronage for centuries. This album is an ambitious mix of styles, moving from minimal trance-like jams to the electronica of tracks sych as "Searching For Passion", where the solitary wail of Bachir Attar's horn is set against Singh's ambient "atmospheres". Combining ancient rhythms with futuristic effects, including Cleveland Watkiss' vocoder, record scratching and rapidfire drum & bass, this is a vibrant release. At times Singh lapses into his electronic doodles, but the raw brilliance of the Jajouka musicians means that he never meanders there too long.--Lucy O'Brien

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Indo/Moroccan fusion 23 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Firstly , I will buy anything from Talvin. I have always found the more afro sound of Gnawa more listenable than the Berber 'shwaram' sound of the mountain tribes of Morocco - but Talvin has found the perfect middle ground between his London based asian/D&B tabla music and the raw sound of Joujouka in this recording. He does not shirk from the challenge to fuse an electro 21st century funk onto this deeply traditional music, and produces a musical gem rather than a bastard child.

4.0 out of 5 stars History Repeating 8 Sep 2000
By S. L. Winant - Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Future Is Now 13 May 2008
By County Lineman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A album you can listen to time and time again. 22 Sep 2009
By Juliet K. Liu - Published on Amazon.com
Format: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.
