The Pipes of Pan at Jajouka

by Master Musicians of Joujouka

The 1970th greatest album of all time

The Pipes of Pan at Jajouka is a field-recorded album that presents the Master Musicians of Joujouka performing traditional Moroccan Sufi trance music. The sound is built from repeating, cyclical reed-pipe melodies and layered percussion that create a hypnotic, trance-inducing atmosphere, with a raw, immediate recording aesthetic that foregrounds the ritual quality of the performances. Within contexts of folk and psychedelic interest of the period, the album served as a prominent document connecting rural ritual music to broader international listeners.
