The Master Musicians of Joujouka are a collective of Jbala Sufi trance musicians, carrying forward a centuries-old musical tradition that first captivated Western audiences in the early 1950s. Live in Paris, released on Unlistenable Records in 2021, captures this legendary ensemble in a live setting, delivering a full immersion into the hypnotic, ritualistic sound that has made them one of the world's most unique and revered musical groups.
The album spans two discs of deeply compelling music, with the first featuring hypnotic flutes, drums, and mountain violin (kamanja) played by virtuoso Scheik Ahmed Talha, alongside lead vocals by the late Abdeslam Boukhzar. The second disc presents the frenzied deep trance of the rhaita suite "Boujeloud" — a fire-lit ritual piece embodying the mythical half-man, half-goat creature — recorded in its entirety for the first time, making this a remarkable document of a living musical tradition.
