CD Morocco: Crossroads Time(bkp)

I was fortunate to visit Morocco. I learned much despite being ill-prepared. Travel books and itineraries tell One what (s)he will see, but not what to observe.This is an excellent introduction to Moroccan culture. The music CD's twelve selections are a representative sampler. The accompanying 64-page hardbound book discusses each selection in detail. The book also includes beautiful color photos and translations of Moroccan lyrics and poetry. The authors discuss Moroccan history, geography, literature, and Islamic life within Morocco. A discography and bibliography suggest additional musical and textual Moroccan references. There even is a recipe for Mint Tea, the cornerstone of Moroccan hospitality!I recommend this music CD and book to anyone interested in Morocco, but *especially* to those preparing for their first visit.
