Little is known about the history of the Gourara region of the Algerian Sahara. In 1987 it was home to over 60,000 Zenete, Bedouin, and Sudanese peoples in about one hundred oasis settlements. Whereas these ethnic groups retain distinct cultural identities, their musical styles show mutual influences, such as the use of polyphonic rhythms and religious subject matter.

This recording illustrates both the diversity and shared characteristics of Gourara music, from the maraboutism, an Islamic ritual piece sung to pray for the fertility of the palm flowers, to the ahellil, music for religious feasts often performed over the course of an entire night. The liner notes provide a brief history about the region and background of each of the seven musical selections.

Tracks:

01. Ahellil song: "Salamo" [0:07:49.09]
02. Tagerrabt song: "Ya salat 'alik" ("We bow to you") [0:06:00.80]
03. Hadra song: "Al Hamdou Lillah" ("Praised be the Lord") [0:08:14.44]
04. Tebel song of the Meharza [0:09:07.13]
05. Song for the insemination of the date palm [0:02:05.36]
06. Song with amzad accompaniment [0:04:51.26]
07. Danse with qarqabou [0:05:03.00]
