Thanks to successive generations of old Moroccan families whose lineage goes right back to the Spain of three cultures, certain Sufi-inspired zaouia have been able to preserve an Arabo-Andalusian tradition in their music, both sacred and secular. The Ibn Arabi Ensemble has taken up the challenge of reviving music from this heritage in the Siddiqia Zaouia, tucked away in the hearth of the casbah in Tangiers-no easy task in musical, aesthetic or philosophical terms, but the result is a hauntingly beautiful album, singular and unforgettable. Released in 2003.
