(TV) A guitar player you don't know, but who's worth hearing.

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@mac.com>]

Abdullah Chmairan.

The following link is a good article by one of the people involved in 
Sublime Frequencies' _Musical Brotherhoods of Morocco_.  (Now out on 
DVD.)  It's worth reading, but I'll save you some time: scroll down to 
the video with the caption "Wedding Party, Guelmim, 2003. Guitar: 
Abdullah Chmairan. Video source unknown."

Loud, distorted, ferocious modal improv--he'd make a good addition to 
Polvo or make Sonic Youth significantly more exciting.  Very satisfying. 
 You may want to turn down the volume, and note that it's left-channel 
only, or at least it was for me.

Considering how hot Group Doueh is, and how much hotter this is, I'm 
getting the bug to check out more Jakwar music...
