Morocco - The Sultan's Horse with Samir LanGus and Bill Gordh
Manage episode 372639518 series 3355673
Storyteller Bill Gordh and gnawa artist Samir LanGus improvise the Moroccan tale of The Sultan's Horse, in which the Sultan must choose one of his three sons to be his successor, and tasks them with traveling and returning with a report of what they have seen and done. While the elder sons choose the fastest horses, the youngest son chooses his father's old horse, who leads him to a singing feather, and ultimately sends them on a journey to find the Sultan of the Spirits' daughter.
Samir sings and plays the gimbri - a three-string lute that is central to the gnawa spiritual tradition.
