Filmed in 2005 by Hisham Mayet predominately at the Jemaa Al Fna in
Marrakesh Morocco, 'Musical Brotherhoods of the Trans-Saharan Highway'
captures an assortment of spectacular musical dramas presented live and
unfiltered on the home turf of the world's most dynamic string and drum
specialists performing and manifesting the ecstatic truth. Ancient
mystical brotherhoods have been flourishing for centuries in and around
the cities of Marrakesh and Essaouira in Morocco where the trade
caravans have gathered from their long journeys across the Trans-Saharan
Highway. This is some of the last great street music on Earth. A must
see for string aficionados looking for inspiration as electric ouds,
banjos, mandolins and the Gnawa sentir peel flesh from bone right before
your eyes!
