Average review score: 
Another root of flamencoMorocco and Andalusian Spain are world crossroads. The music of Morocco especially is extraordinarily varied with many styles and influences, including those of indigenous Berbers, the Black peoples of Mali and Senegal (the gnawa), modern French-Europop singers, classical Moorish Iberian set pieces, and Arabs. There have been centuries of fusions. While many recordings are available of Arabo-Andalusian music, Berber and Gnawa music, Sufi songs, and so forth, traditional Arabic songs of Morocco have been lacking. This CD fills the gap admirably. The powerful rhythms are of rocking camels in caravans, the songs are call-and-response, and the clapping patterns are certainly the root of flamenco's palmas. The music is not really restricted to Morocco and "North Africa" in the title is indeed proper, for the sound can be heard from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. If you like Hamza el Din's recording, Eclipse, you will enjoy this recording.

This beautifully laid out program of music displays both the ambiguity and power that music expresses in Muslim society in Morocco. Starting with a call to prayer and a singing from the Quran (the two types of music sanctioned by the fundamentalist branches of Islam), the seven tracks in this set trace orthodox works and the mystical musical brotherhoods that gave birth to the familiar gnawa music. Perhaps the prize of the set is an art music called al-milhun. This sung poetry, accompanied by string instruments and percussion, best shows how folk and classical music become almost inseparable genres in many cultures, allowing both secular growth and religious devotion to the past to thrive side-by-side. This is yet another well-documented recording from the UNESCO Anthology of World Music being reissued on Rounder. --Louis Gibson
