Passed down through generations of the same family, the Attars, their trance music is as complex and melodic as it is spiritual and healing. Delivered on instruments including lira (flute), gaita (oboe), guimbri (bass lute) and drums beaten with hands and sticks, it is intensively practised and often played all night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Master Musicians had recorded with the Rolling Stones, been declared “the 4,000-year-old rock’n’roll band” by counterculture guru Timothy Leary and toured Europe for the first time in a decade when, in 1995, led by Bachir Attar, they pitched up at Real World during Recording Week. Captured live before a small rapt audience, this performance of three long-playing tracks bottles all the deeply felt passion of musicians in the moment, merging voices and instruments in ways guaranteed to transport. Each composition is distinct: ‘My God My Love Has Come’ favours strings. ‘The Real Long Night in Jajouka’ is heavy on flute. In ‘Boujeloudia’ the focus is on the oboe-like ghaita. But the fever builds and burns throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Real World Studios in 1995, this CD\/LP reissue features brand new cover art. First time on vinyl.

BURROUGHS) or even \"6,000 years old\" (ORNETTE COLEMAN) are without doubt, the music of the ensemble in all its incarnations over the centuries is deeply rooted in Sufi mysticism, paganism and the cult of the goat-god Boujeloud. According to a myth, many centuries ago Boujeloud appeared to a shepherd called Attar, an ancestor of today's ensemble leader BACHIR ATTAR, and till today every year at the end of Ramadan a fire in honour of the goat-god is ignited. This pagan root aside, the music performed in several hour long rituals on traditional instruments like tebel and tariyya (drums), ghaita (a woodwind instrument), lira (flute) and gimbri (stringed instrument) reveals hypnotic, trance-inducing qualities and is considered to have magical and healing properties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50435775693131,"sku":"1089796","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5954ff4d-075b-4420-bdaa-18339062ee1b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726907623"},{"product_id":"dancing-under-the-moon","title":"Dancing Under The Moon","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautifully recorded in situ in the Rif mountains in the autumn of 2019, this 110- minute double CD presents these legendary musicians expansively and unhindered.
