Moroccan Music from ARCmusic

EUCD/MC1170 Songs & Dances from Morocco - Chalf Hassan

In traditional Moroccan folk music the Bendeer (a large wooden frame drum, with snare strings to create a buzzing sound) is used as the main part of the rhythm section. Other instruments played are the Aud (lute), the violin and the Nay (bamboo flute). The lead singer sings the main part and the other singers repeat after him in the traditional Arabian question and answer fashion.

EUCD/MC1393 Chalf Hassan - Songs and Dances from Morocco

This is the second album of traditional Moroccan music by Chalf Hassan. The songs are sung in the traditional Arabian "question and answer" fashion. The music presents a great variety from all areas of Morocco’s different ethnic regions. Close your eyes and feel the dry heat and picture a long string of camels sedately walking into the distant heat-haze and feel the drive and the elation of the dances.
