Morocco

A 49-minute instrumental journey across Morocco — 12 cities in one continuous arc, from the Andalusi sea-drift of Tangier to the Saharan dunes of Merzouga. No vocals; pure instrumental storytelling.

Each track is composed from the music of its place: the Andalusi nawba meeting Spanish-flamenco palmas in Beat-generation Tangier; the 24 nawba modes carried by Granada's 1492 exiles into old Fes; the post-WWII jazz that took root in art-deco Casablanca; the sea-spaced, breezy Gnawa of Essaouira's Atlantic port; the dense five-section Hijaz climb across one day in red-walled Marrakech; the ribab fiddle and Ahwach dance of Berber Agadir; and the Berber Sahara of Merzouga, where a sixty-second fade dissolves the album into silence over the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
