Jilala group playing at the Mouseem Sidi Ali. We we more than welcomed into a private house for an afternoon's liila,( ritual) where jilala and other groups ( gnaoua, hamacha) played whilst a cow was slaughtered, people tranced, the jnouns( ( demons) were exorsized and kept happy and the saints blessed. These Fez based musicians are wonderful warm people. Chokrane and tabalakal3lihum. x culturevulturefez.org

Morocco [01:38]
Morocco's distinctive landscapes and enduring cultural heritage offer an enticing journey into the heart of North Africa. Part of Africa yet markedly different, Morocco is a fascinating study in contrasts. Old world medinas with noisy, narrow, winding lanes vie for attention with fashionable cafés, boutique shops and modern city centers. Sophisticated coastal cities such as Casablanca and Rabat boast an abundance of long white beaches, picturesque rocky coves and classic resorts. The imperial cities of Meknes and Fes showcase fine examples of Islamic architecture and tradition. Inland cities are warm and exotic, set among hills and palm groves. The rugged, snow-capped Atlas Mountains stretch 2414 kilometers/1500 miles through Morocco and beyond. Berber tribes have lived in the region for thousands of years, and were first mentioned in writings of ancient Egyptians. Long-established villages such as Aït-Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serve as strongholds that preserve the Berber lifestyle, culture, music and art. The country is also rich in Jewish heritage, with the first migration into this area coming after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem; and a second wave arrived from the Iberian Peninsula in the period immediately preceding and following the 1492 Alhambra Decree, when the Jews were expelled from the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal. At its peak in the 1940s, Morocco's Jewish population exceeded 250000. Jewish heritage is seen throughout the ...

Médine - Madina al munawara [00:51]
La ville sainte de Médine, qui est située au centre du Hedjaz, à 447 kilomètres au nord de la ville sainte de La Mecque, se trouve à 625 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer. Construite sur une oasis fertile, elle est bordée sur trois côtés par des collines qui font partie de la chaîne montagneuse du Hedjaz. La plus haute de ces collines, le mont Ohod, s'élève à 2 000 mètres au-dessus de l'oasis. Médine est la deuxième ville sainte de l'islam. C'est à Médine que le prophète Muhammad (sur lui la paix) et ses disciples, confrontés à l'hostilité et à la persécution des marchands mecquois, s'enfuirent en 622 de notre ère -- et, quand les citoyens de Médine demandèrent au prophète de s'installer parmi eux et d'arbitrer leurs affaires (une invitation interprétée comme un rejet du polythéisme et une acceptation de leur part de se soumettre à la volonté du Dieu unique, Allah), c'est à Médine que l'ère islamique commença. Médine est donc la ville du prophète. Étant le lieu où le saint Coran fut rédigé et la ville d'où les compagnons du prophète administrèrent les affaires de la communauté musulmane, Médine fut le siège du premier État islamique. De la ville, des armées prêchant la parole du prophète furent envoyées en Égypte, en Perse et en Syrie. C'est aussi à Médine aussi que fut enterré le prophète, sur lui la paix. « Madinah » en arabe signifie « ville ». Son nom entier, « Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah », signifie « ville des lumières ». Ni la Omra, ni le Hadj n'imposent une visite ...

Our Annual trip away for my birthday took us to Morocco ,this time ,hell of a place it was to.. [20:42]
Every year we put a pin in the map [blindfold style] this time it landed in Morocco ,Marrakesh to be precise ,so that was a bit of a relief from bloody eastern Europe in February like we managed to tag a few times before [if you ever passing by Latvia keep passing] .I even managed to write a half decent song about it all as well.Off to Israel next so that will be nice ,cant beat a bit of war zone tourism [some one better start peeking when they pin the map or we will end up dead soon].
