Frank Rynne and the Master Musicians of Joujouka

Membership card of Master Musicians of Joujouka/Jajouka/Jahjouka association of Frank Rynne.

Since 1994 Frank Rynne has been a member of the association of the Master Musicians of Joujouka/Serifya Association of the Master Musicians of Jahjouka/Jajouka/Joujouka. This membership carries with it the responsibilities and requirements to treat with and treat all fellow members equally. His representation of the Master Musicians of Joujouka in the West is an elected position and his views and actions are guided by the majority view of the Master Musicians of Joujouka/Jajouka/Jahjouka. It is not a relationship based on the contractual norms of the Western music business but rather, he is a fraternal member of the Master Musician's association.

This membership has set Rynne apart from other westerners who have produced the Master Musicians of Joujouka as he is accepted as an equal in the village but his designated and elected role has been to promote the Master Musician's music and to deal with people outside Morocco on their behalf.

Past Masters from National Dubai March 6 2009. Though the Master Musicians disagree with many assertions in the article it is of interest as it is written by an unbiased journalist and musician Jace Clayton.

Joujouka : More on the story .....

The oldest musician in Joujouka is Mallim Ali Abdeslam El Attar. Mallim is the name given to a true master of music and Mallim Ali is known as the Master of Joujouka to all. He is the oldest musician from Joujouka and the oldest Attar in the village.

Last year he presided over the Brian Jones 40th Anniversary Festival in Joujouka as he did at this year's festival in June. The reverence shown to him by the Masters is evident when they arrive at the musician's house in Joujouka. His presence is always something to be appreciated as a blessing. He is the spiritual leader of the musicians by virtue of his age, his wisdom and his adherence to the saint, Sidi Ahmed Scheich, whose blessings he attributes his longevity to.

At nearly 100 year of age Mallim Ali has had a hard life. In 1936 he was conscripted by General Franco into the Spanish colonial army and was forced to fight in all the battles in the Spanish Civil War. This was an experience that many his generation of Sufi masters in Joujouka endured. He was retained in Spain until the end of World War II and then returned to his native Morocco without pay or pension.

From 1945 onwards he continued to play with The Master Musicians of Joujouka and was a veteran of Hamri's efforts to support the village by bringing the musicians to play on the trains between Ksar El kebir and Tangier, in the International Zone. This was the Interzone of William Burrough's fiction. In the 1950s he played at Brion Gysin and Hamri's restaurant, the 1001 nights in Tangier. This is where William Burroughs first saw the Master Musicians perform. He recalls his playing for Brian Jones with humorous glee. However a sadness also descends on Mallim Ali when he recalls those days to people. He always insists on naming the great masters who played with him who are now dead.

Last year, award winning rock photographer, Jill Furmanovsky, made a series of portraits of Mallim Ali which were published in the Onelife magazine. Other photographs by Jill of the Brian Jones 40th Anniversary Festival in Joujouka have appeared in The Guardian, Dazed and Confused and Mojo . The festival was celebration by the village of jaoujouka/Joujouka of brian Jones visit to record an LP in 1968. The resulting LP "Brian Jones presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka" was the first release on Rolling Stones Records in 1971. A small selection of her images from the Brian Jones Festival are available on The Master Musicians Myspace.

This June I brought copies of the magazine to the village and the day before the festival and on 4 June 2009, I presented Mallim Ali with a copy. In the below slide show you can see Mallim Ali looking at the magazine and I really like the photo I took of him with Jill's photo open on a magazine page with his full page portrait. Michael Pollock and his son Marlon were on the porch and Master Musicians Mohamed Mockshan and Radi El Kahil arrive and greet the Master. It is obvious in the photos the reverence that the Masters have for Mallim Ali. I always bring several tubes of prescription eye ointment for him as he has severe eye pain and discomfort. He always blesses me for this small gesture.

The day I left Joujouka in June he called me to one side and asked me where was the money gone from the Brian Jones recording and the other records he played on such as the Master Musicians of Jajouka record that Joel Rubiner put out in 1974 and Ornette Coleman's "Dancing in My Head" all of which have been reissue on Cd without any consultation with the Masters.

Sadly the answer is not a mystery as other posts on this blog have revealed. Cherie Nutting , her ex husband Bachir Attar and Joel Rubiner, who runs a successful business in New Mexico selling Moroccan leather, have the answers. Philip Glass's label Point Music reissued the Brian Jones LP in 1995 and no one thought to consult or include Mallim Ali or the other Masters and their families in the remuneration that ensued.

Noelle Pujol : site, photos and videos

http://noellepujol.free.fr/

Mon nouveau projet l'installation photo et vidéo "Les animaux de Tirana" est en ce moment en partie exposée au Centre d'art Passerelle à Brest dans le cadre de l'exposition collective "en vue… des manières de voir / la nature mise en image et en vitrine" (15 mai-22 août). http://www.cac-passerelle.com/

Elle est aussi visible dans la nouvelle revue en ligne Leucothéa, revue autour de l'oeuvre de Jean-Marie Straub et Danièle Huillet.
Voici le lien :
http://www.revue-leucothea.com/

"Noëlle Pujol a passé trois semaines à Tirana en Albanie dans le cadre d'un programme d'échange artistique. Pour mieux accéder à l'histoire du pays, elle décide de s'appuyer sur la figure animale et plus particulièrement la collection des animaux naturalisés du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de la Rruga Kavajës; c'est un espace ignoré, oublié, préposé à une activité de recherche scientifique et universitaire, aujourd'hui en état de dégradation. Un taxidermiste travaille encore dans son laboratoire. Il continue de porter l'irréalité du lieu de son atelier jusqu'aux salles obscures occupées par la communauté des animaux naturalisés (Le taxidermiste de Tirana). Ici l'animal est non seulement une figure de transition entre l'humain et l'inhumain, le vivant et l'inerte mais aussi porteur d'indices, de directions, d'un régime esthétique des arts où le processus d'hétérogénéité contient une secrète dimension politique.
La vidéo Oiseau en cage montre le seul animal en mouvement devant l'architecture du Muséum, où les bruits de la ville de Tirana viennent se mêler à l'appel à la prière du dernier jour de Ramadan.

La série Nanook à Tirana fait résonner un nom de cinéma (Nanook of the North de Robert Flaherty, 1922) avec l'identité de Fatos Nano, représenté avec une coiffe indienne, ancien premier ministre et président du Parti Socialiste d'Albanie. Sur le mur du Muséum, un graffiti porte l'inscription"NANO IK" (NANO DEHORS) sur lequel un partisan a recouvert la lettre i par la lettre o pour signifier "NANO OK" (NANO OUI).

Avec Taxidermy in process Noëlle Pujol poursuit ici son travail de recherche sur la taxidermie, la figure animale et le politique au Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de Berlin.
