Our Take

Master Musicians of Jajouka, led by the enigmatic Bachir Attar, have returned with their latest offering, "Jajouka Between The Mountains." This album is a wild and mesmerising journey through the mystical world of Moroccan music, blending traditional sounds with modern experimental flair.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to the rugged mountains of Jajouka, where the haunting melodies of ancient instruments mingle with Attar's hypnotic vocals. The result is a cacophony of sound that is both disorientating and exhilarating.

Tracks like "Mountain Dance" and "Snake Charmer" showcase the raw talent of the musicians, with their relentless percussion and swirling melodies creating an otherworldly atmosphere. It's impossible not to get swept up in the rhythmic frenzy of these songs, as they build to a fever pitch that is as intoxicating as it is infectious.

But it's not all chaotic energy on "Jajouka Between The Mountains." The album also features moments of quiet introspection, such as the ethereal "Mist on the Mountain" and the meditative "Dawn Chorus." These tracks provide a welcome respite from the frenetic pace of the rest of the album, allowing the listener to truly appreciate the depth and skill of the musicians.

In conclusion, "Jajouka Between The Mountains" is a mind-bending experience that will leave you both exhilarated and exhausted. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Moroccan music or a curious newcomer, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. Master Musicians of Jajouka have once again proven themselves to be true masters of their craft, pushing the boundaries of traditional music and creating something truly unique and unforgettable.
