Tonight, in two programs, we present seven segments from this enthralling collection of films on Morocco's rich musical heritage. Just as music is integrated into every aspect of Moroccan life, Izza Genini integrates a study of the Moroccan land, light, architecture, and peoples into her films about music. In these first three diverse musical portraits, Morocco, Body and Soul traces the influences on Moroccan music of its Arab neighbors and of other Mediterranean cultures, most notably Spain. In Lutes and Delights, Abdelsadek Chekara and his orchestra are among the most faithful interpreters of Arab Andalusian music, performing centuries-old noubas which hauntingly recall the mixture of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish influences in Arab-dominated Andalusia. In Aita, Fatna Bent El Hocine is a cheika, a female troubadour whose aita (literally, "outcry") is comparable to the lament of the Blues. In Hymns of Praise, the sanctuary commemorating the founding of the first Islamic kingdom of Morocco in the eighth century still draws Sufi pilgrims who dance, entranced, to the sounds of oboes and drums.
