Music
Any trip to Morocco comes with its own syncopated soundtrack: the early evening
adhan (call to prayer), and the ubiquitous donkey-cart-drivers' chants of ' Balek!' -
fair warning that since donkeys don't yield, you'd better, and quick. Adding to the
musical mayhem are beats booming out of taxis, ham radios and roadside stalls, and
live music performances at restaurants and weddings, on street corners and headlin-
ing at festivals year-round. For a memory bank of Maghrebi music any DJ would
envy, sample these varieties.
No, that's not a musical rugby scrum: the haidous is a complex circle dance with musicians in the
middle, often performed in celebration of the harvest.
