Inspired by trips to Jajouka in North Morocco and the ritual of Boujeloud, but played with Turkish ney flutes and a tebel drum from Ksar El Kbir near to the village of Jajouka yet in a style similar to the music played in those mountains, but also with a hint of Jilali Sufi Tradition and elements of rock. It is a homage to a way of life and a music, which keeps inspiring everybody, who has taken the journey into the heart of darkness.

Primal Screams Of The Goat God

ABUJAMILA is the namesake of Torben Holleufer of Sufi Caravan and the name means Jamila's Dad in Arabic. Jamila  was my beloved daughter, who left us recently and will forever be in our hearts. 
The music is mostly a cross between inspirations from the Sufi Brotherhoods of Morocco, especially from Gnawa (Gnaoua), Hamadcha, Aissaoua and Jilali as well as western psychedelic and straight singer/somgwriting. 
There are no limits and the music is an invitation to enter the trance and meditation and dance with the spirits. 
The main composer and performer is Torben Holleufer and please send love and prayers to my daughter, Jamila Toni Holleufer (1989-2024), who by the way shot the cover photo in Essaouira in April 2024 on our last trip to Morocco.
