Ouled Ghnou & Lâriche
Wish I had more info about this tape. It’s quite a little thing in my house today. It builds to excellent climaxes and introduces some interesting new timbres to my ears (mostly this bumble bee-caught-in-a-drum situation you will hear).
Beautiful music for the crispy summer evening air here in LA. Drift through this comfortably as the whole tape works as one big thing, lots of variation yet cut from the same intense (and very tense) cloth. These gentlemen are very much wilding in the percussion vs. string interaction dept… invigorating tbh!
I think this is from Morocco…
Please help us identify these musicians! I had a difficult time deciphering the Arabic because of the jazzy typeface on the cover.

On closer listen, much of this is not Middle Atlas Berber style (à la Rouicha), but rather based on Khouribga or Zaêri style âita, with some the addition of some topical lyrics, and some spoken word thrown in between songs.
Track names:
Side A: Al Ghrib – Qissat Lyahoud – Loubnan – Zaêri
Side B: Bint al Lycée – Ben Driss – Touachi

This tape is from a style of musical comedy that in Morocco is known as “Halqa” where artists tell tales with music then stop to go further on the funny details of the subject.
the two artist above in the picture are Thami (Right with Outar) and Jilali “Jelloul” (Left, with Bendir). and both are known as “El Hanaouate” duo. And they are more comedians than musicians. Sadly they left this world in 2011 both of them. Just search El Hanaouate in youtube you will find a lot of their music and shows.

These gentleman make spiritual moroccan music. Its made to come in a trance. The feeling you get when headbanging your head on this music is releaving for the mind. I can’t help you identify these musicians. As the other comments said this music is from the middle atlas.
I think these gentleman come from el khmisat! Its a Village above Meknes in the middle Atlas in Morocco. We call them shlouh. This music is made to come in a trance. People who dance to this mostly headbang and get this releaving feeling.
@Camille:
