Les Master Musicians of Joujouka sont heureux d’annoncer leur festival d’été, du 10 au 12 juin 2011, qui se tiendra dans leur village au Maroc. Les festivaliers seront hébergés par les musiciens et leurs familles et participeront à trois jours et trois nuits de musique Sufi rituelle dans son environnement d’origine. Toute la nuit du samedi 11 juin, les musiciens célébreront le rituel de Boujeloud sur la place du village.

En juillet 2008, les Master Musicians of Joujouka ont fêté le 40ème anniversaire de la visite de Brian Jones dans leur village logé au sein des montagnes du Rif au nord du Maroc. Au jour près, ce festival fêtait le 40ème anniversaire de l’enregistrement du LP légendaire Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan à Joujouka (Rolling Stones Records 1971). Le festival a regroupé les familles des anciens Masters maintenant disparus et un groupe de visiteurs venus de l’étranger, dont de nombreux amis du fondateur des Rolling Stones, Brian Jones.



Pour sa seconde édition en 2009, le festival a été déplacé au mois de juin, car la température au mois du juillet peut aisément dépasser les 40°C. Son succès a alors fait l’objet d’un article publié dans le Wire Magazine du mois d’octobre 2009.


Les festivaliers participeront à la vie au village, hébergés par les musiciens et leurs familles au sein de leur village isolé. Les Masters joueront lors de nombreuses sessions improvisées autour de leur madrassa/école. La fête du rituel de Boujeloud sur la place du village sera le point culminant du festival.



Les billets donnant accès au festival sont strictement limités dû aux possibilités d’hébergement par les familles du village. Les organisateurs du festival accueilleront les festivaliers dans la ville la plus proche, Ksar El Kebir, les conduiront au village, puis les raccompagneront à la gare après le festival. Les festivaliers seront reçus en pension complète. Les repas seront préparés de manière traditionnelle par les villageois et seront constitués de nourriture locale. Le village de Joujouka est une communauté agricole qui est aussi connue pour ses merveilleuses olives et son huile d’olive.



Vous pouvez réserver dès à présent :

Pour les deux jours du festival, les 10 et 11 juin : 265 €.

Pour trois jours (10, 11 et 12 juin) : 325 €.



Les organisateurs accueilleront les festivaliers à la gare de Moulay El Medhi à Ksar El Kebir le 10 juin, les conduiront jusqu’à Joujouka et les raccompagneront à la gare après le festival. Horaires : www.oncf.ma

Brion Gysin retrospective "Dream Machine" at New Museum, The Bowery, New York City open now

Boujeloud in Joujouka by Brion Gysin 1958 

The New Museum presents  “Brion Gysin: Dream Machine,” the first US retrospective of the work of the painter, performer, poet, and writer Brion Gysin (born 1916, Taplow, UK–died 1986, Paris). Working simultaneously in a variety of mediums, Gysin was an irrepressible inventor, serial collaborator, and subversive spirit whose considerable innovations continue to influence musicians and writers, as well as visual and new media artists today. The exhibition will include over 300 drawings, books, paintings, photo-collages, films, slide projections, and sound works, as well as an original Dreamachine—a kinetic light sculpture that utilizes the flicker effect to induce visions when experienced with closed eyes. “Brion Gysin: Dream Machine” is curated by Laura Hoptman, Kraus Family Senior Curator, and will be on view in the New Museum’s second floor gallery.

http://www.newmuseum.org/exhibitions/422/brion_gysin_dream_machine

The show includes The Here to Go Tapes with Brion Gysin and Terry Wilson which was edited by Terry Wilson  and  The Master Musicians of Joujouka producer Frank Rynne who produced The Here to GoTapes (Here to Go Show/Subliminal Records 1992) with Dave Goodman (Sex Pistol's Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle, UK Subs etc). The tapes were edited from the interview tapes that Terry Wilson recorded with Brion Gysin that formed the text of the book Here to Go Planet 101 revisited by Brion Gysin and Terry Wilson.
 Dont forget to check out the New Museum Shop for a host of Gysin and Joujouka related releases and publications.

Here to Go Show poster 1992 designed by Niall Sweeney. 

This was the first full showing of Brion Gysin and William Buuroughs with Mohamed Hamri, 

The Master Musicians of Joujouka , Hakim Bey, Ira Cohen, Terry Wilson, Felicity Mason and more.

Gysin's connection to the master Musicians of Joujouka is also mentioned by The Wall Street Journal's Laura A. Rugarber in her review:

The Rolling Stones were also in Gysin’s orbit; the artist is said to have introduced Moroccan Joujouka, a type of music said to have healing properties, to guitarist Brian Jones. http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/07/14/brion-gysin-inspiration-to-stones-david-bowie-gets-first-us-retrospective/

However, Regina Weinreich while praising the show notes that Gysin's Moroccan period is under represented http://www.huffingtonpost.com/regina-weinreich/brion-gysins-flickering-l_b_646195.html.

 Italian report on Master Musicians of Joujouka Festival 2010

Moroccan waves pt. 1

Credo che per avere un quadro preciso e dettagliato delle vicissitudini musicali che interessano un villaggio di circa settecento abitanti del nord Africa, Joujouka, basta leggere questo pezzo di Jace Clayton.

Sono appena tornato dal Marocco, dove, anch'io, dopo circa mezzo secolo di pellegrinaggio occidentale, ho assistito alle live session dei Master Musicians of Joujouka; il festival è organizzato dall'irlandese Frank Rynne, che dopo il 2008 - quarantesimo anniversario della prima registrazione dei master ad opera di Brian Jones, Rolling Stones - organizza ogni anno il festival al costo di 300 €, inclusi alloggio nelle abitazioni dei musicisti e vitto a base di pietanze sufi.

Salim Jay : Le roman de Brion Gysin où jouent Hamid et ses oncles musiciens

Salim Jay : Le roman de Brion Gysin où jouent Hamid et ses oncles musiciens
Culture | salimjay | 5 mai 2010 à 7 h 00 min

On connaît Les Garçons sauvages de William Burroughs (Etats-Unis, 1970 et Christian Bourgois, Paris, 1973 ). C’est une sorte de poème romanesque où le Mexique, les Etats-Unis et Marrakech hantent une mémoire de pythie ensorcelée ou d’haruspice spécieux et provocateur. A Tanger, Brion Gysin fut l’un des grands amis de Burroughs et «Désert dévorant» (traduit de l’américain par Livia Standersi chez Flammarion en 1975) s’ouvrait d’ailleurs sur une préface où l’auteur des Garçons sauvages promettait : «C’est un livre que vous désirerez lire et relire. Il vous racontera ce qui se passe dans le Temps Présent. Comment les choses sont amenées à advenir ou non dans le Temps Présent. C’est aussi un divertissement de premier ordre. Commencez à le lire et vous réaliserez qu’il se lit tout seul».

Cela est vrai, comme il est vrai aussi que les 336 pages de ce livre auraient pu en compter sans dommage quelques dizaines de moins. Gysin a fait à son traducteur une confidence qui mérite d’être rapportée : «Il n’y a de réel (dans «Désert dévorant» que le Maroc, Hamid et ses oncles musiciens, les « Trente », derniers rescapés de la croisade des âmes que narre le grand poète persan Attâr dans son Colloque des oiseaux, et qui, dans le village de Joujouka, perpétuent les rites mystérieux, survivance des Lupercales romaines… ». Ces musiciens marocains jouent littéralement dans le roman de Brion Gysin. Ce sont eux qui permettent à l’auteur d’affirmer que le Maroc est l’Ouest Sauvage de l’Esprit. Le je polyphonique qui draine les images et les mirages dans «Désert dévorant» est « aventuré franc sud au désert, en plein Sahara, (…) et ne sachant plus en fait qui en moi marche, ni vers où, ni pourquoi».  Read More http://www.lesoir-echos.com/2010/05/05/salim-jay-le-roman-de-brion-gysin-ou-jouent-hamid-et-ses-oncles-musiciens/

Joujouka, le club des soufis stones

Enquête

Par DAVID BORNSTEIN

World. Ce petit bled perdu dans le Rif marocain a abrité son troisième festival de musique soufie, qui s’est achevé hier. Entre transe panique, kif et mythologie hippie.

Trois jours et trois nuits en plein Rif marocain : depuis vendredi et jusqu’à dimanche, les maîtres musiciens soufis ont joué chez eux, entourés de leurs familles, dans le bled sans doute le plus réputé du Maroc. Joujouka est minuscule, perché sur une hauteur qui domine un lac ; des montagnes et d’immenses vallées vert fluo.

http://www.liberation.fr/culture/0101639892-joujouka-le-club-des-soufis-stones


PLUS

Rif et rock’n’roll

Découvert dans les années 50, Joujouka voit par la suite défiler les plus grands noms.

Le peintre Brion Gysin, les écrivains William Burroughs et Paul Bowles rencontrent les musiciens de Joujouka dès les années 50 alors qu’ils vivent à Tanger. C’est Mohamed Hamri, l’un des plus célèbres peintres marocains, qui leur fait découvrir son village natal.
Dans les années 70, les hippies défilent. Brian Jones, premier guitariste des Rolling Stones, est aussi le premier à tripper à Joujouka. Dès 1968, il débarque dans le Rif avec son ingénieur du son. Mélangeant les cassettes, ajoutant des effets sonores de répétition et d’échos - une nouveauté à l’époque -, il produira l’album Pipes of Pan at Joujouka. Mystique, Jones aurait vécu cette musique comme une «incantation à des êtres venus d’ailleurs». Il meurt tragiquement en 1969 et, désormais, ce sont les soufis qui lui rendent hommage. Pour lui, ils ont même créé une chanson en anglais. Les paroles sont brèves, mais efficaces : «Ha ! Brian Jones, very stone !» («Ah, Brian Jones, qu’est-ce qu’il était défoncé !»). Mike Jagger se rend au village des années plus tard, avec Keith Richards, et utilise la transe soufie dans l’album Steel Wheels, en 1989. Quant à Ornette Coleman, saxophoniste free jazz, il débarque au village en 1973 et enregistre Dancing in Your Head. Dans les années 80 et 90, les soufis volent de leurs propres ailes et tournent dans le monde entier.
Mais comme dans tout groupe de rock qui se respecte, ils se disputent et se séparent. Désormais, Bachir Attar vit à New York, enregistre et tourne en solo. Les musiciens restés au village réalisent les albums Black Eyes et Boujeloud. Ils créént le «festival Brian Jones» avec l’aide du producteur irlandais Frank Rynne.

This festival is supported and attended by  the Governor of Larache province, the local government, the Caid of Tatoft. It  is organised by the local Co-operative pour de Development Sidi Ahmed Skiech de Zahjouka which provides employment for the women of the village. This festival is  an annual showcase of the community's products, cheese, bread, traditional weaving, woolen goods, and olive products which the co-operative markets for the villagers. The co-operative's efforts to employ women for cash wages is hugely popular locally. In its efforts to preserve the local culture the co-operative and local government also helped finance the building of the Master Musicians new Madrassa (school for music) which was built by the musicians and the villagers in the traditional mountain style.

The co-operative also helps the local farmers develop their  livestock such as goats and cattle for cheese production. These initiatives, funded by the Kingdom of Morocco with assistance from the European Union were introduced in recent years partly as part of the program of eradication of illegal hashish production in the Ahl Srif mountains and Larache province and under new programs of His Majesty Mohamed VI to develop the north of the country.

London Calling: A Countercultural History of London Since 1945 Guardian interview with Miles

Miles aka Barry Miles (on his books) has his new book, London Calling: A Countercultural History of London Since 1945,  out  now from Atlantic Books. Miles was a constant on the couterculture scene since the 1960s and has never lost his edge. His new book traces the history of the counterculture in London from 1945 to the present day. This is a milestone publication by one of the few participants in the scene who actually remembers the 1960s.

There is a great interview in the Guardian available on line

For 45 years, Miles has lived in the same building in Fitzrovia, north of Oxford Street, a stone's throw from Soho to the south and BBC Broadcasting House to the west. Originally, he occupied a flat on an upper floor with his first wife, Sue Crane; he now lives with the travel writer Rosemary Bailey and their teenage son in the basement. The walls of the narrow hallway are covered with paintings, including several by William Burroughs, made during Burroughs's London phase, when Miles took on archival duties and compiled a bibliography of his work; he has also edited a variorum edition of Allen Ginsberg's Howl. Surrounding the pictures are photographs of Miles with Ginsberg, the cartoonist Robert Crumb and others. He is an exemplary case of social mobility – not upwards via the pursuit of money or status, but into the classless orbit of art. "As soon as I took my art A-level, at 16, I went off to become a painter. There was no further thought than that . . . You went to art school to learn how to do art. Then I saw a programme on television about the Beat generation. It was quite critical, but I thought it was wonderful. There was Ginsberg reading Howl and Lawrence Ferlinghetti with the Golden Gate Bridge behind him. It seemed to me that was the model to go for."
The freedom to choose your own style of living has been the main theme of Miles's pilgrimage. "We wanted the church and state to have no part in personal relations," he writes in In the Sixties, having reminded readers of the rigidity of social mores in previous decades. "And once we had got rid of them, then would come the great experiment of deciding how to live."
