Master Musicians of Joujouka - Al Yunic Sharbouni Ate (Your Eyes are Like a Cup of Tea)


Due 2012 Tribe Ahl Serif recorded and filmed in June 1972 by Arnold Stahl and John Anthony and originally released on LP in 1975. This track will be released for the first time on CD along with the film Tribe Ahl Serif currently being restored by the film maker John Anthony and The Master Musicians of Joujouka manager and producer Frank Rynne. The film was shot 9 months after the release of Brian Jones presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka on Rolling Stones Records (1971)and 6 months before Ornette Coleman recorded in the village with the same musicians in January 1973. It also predates the Joel Rubiner recordings released as Master Musicians of Jajouka in 1974 by some two months and unlike Rubiner's recordings also features a full complement of the Master Musicians performing Boujeoud as well as smaller ensembles like Rubiner taped. Rubiner's recordings were later mastered in London under the supervision of Hamri and Miles.
This is the most exciting project from the Master Musicians of Joujouka archive as it is based on a never seen before 30 min film documentary from 1972 for which the recordings were made. This will be the official re-release for the first time on CD and download of the classic 2 LP Tribe Ahl Serif .
