Music

The Grateful Dead
During the Grateful Dead's historic 1978 performances in Egypt, percussionist Mickey Hart set time aside to travel with longtime friend Hamza El Din and make field recordings of the country's richly varied music.

The influence of Egypt on western pop culture
Anne Dudley and Jaz Coleman - Songs From The Victorious City. There are strong impressions of Egyptian music, westernised to an extent and therefore more palatable to a British audience. Generally speaking, if you like Paul Mounsey or Baka Beyond you should at least listen to this album.

Page and Plant
This one-time reunion of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (formerly of Led Zeppelin) features performances from locations in London, Morocco and Wales taped in August 1994.

Brian Jones
Brian Jones, djellabahs and the Master Musicians of Jojouka: Got together to record for an album in 1968, 'The Pipes of Pan'.  It sounds a bit like modernjazz, like John Coltrane or Ornette Coleman, although it’s really pagan trance music.

Rolling Stones
Back to Morocco in 1989 to record with Moroccan musicians for the track Continental Drift. "Continental Drift is an interesting experiment with Moroccan rhythms".
