Jajouka
Jajouka, Joujouka, Jahejouka or Zahjoukah (In Tifinagh: ⵣⴰⵀⵊⵓⴽⴰ) (جوجوكة or جهجوكة) is a village in the Ahl-Srif mountains in the southern Rif, Morocco. The mountains are named after the Ahl-Srif tribe who populate the region.
The musical heritage
Jajouka or Zahjouka is well known as home to two Sufi trance musicians groups, The Master Musicians of Jajouka led by Bachir Attar and the Master Musicians of Joujouka managed by Frank Rynne. The music from Jajouka attracted the attention of writers Paul Bowles and William S. Burroughs in the 1950s because the Sufi trance musicians there appeared to still celebrate the rites of the god Pan. Brion Gysin, who had been introduced to the master musicians by Mohamed Hamri, propagated this idea. Gysin linked the village's Boujeloud festival, where a boy sewn in goat skins danced with sticks while the musicians play to keep him at bay, to the ancient "Rites of Pan". In 1967 and 1968 Brian Jones, lead guitarist with The Rolling Stones, visited the village; at the end of his stay, he recorded the musicians for the LP Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka. The LP was released on Rolling Stones Records in 1971, some two years after Jones's death. The record was reissued in 1995 by Point Music. The music from this village attracted an influx of westerners, including some who later recorded there, such as Ornette Coleman and Bill Laswell.

Verse 1
Ridin' shot gun in a hummer
But this one is dark green
It ain't covered in chrome
With the radio on like the ones
We have back home
We're dodgin' suicide bombers
That are ready to die, skys lit up
Like the fourth of July
Man I'd give anything to be back in the USA
CHORUS
Like in Panama City 'round spring break
Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake
Walkin' Duval Street with a margarita in my hand
At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise
Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys
Man I tell y'all it sure would be great
If I could just get back home to the Sunshine State
Verse 2
I got sand in my eyes and sand in my shoes
Everybody here's got the home sick blues
Sent Billy and Jimmy home in a box last night
Well my bunk mate Andy grew up on a farm
Just last week he lost his right arm
Now he cries him self to sleep most every night
We work sixteen hours sleep about two, spend the
Rest of the day wonderin' how to get through
Man I'd give anything to be back on friendly ground
CHORUS
Like in Panama City 'round spring break
Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake
Walkin' Duval Street with a margarita in my hand
At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise
Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys
Man I tell y'all it sure would be great
If I could just get back home to the Sunshine State
Bridge
Found this letter in a pocket of a soldier I lost
He was a hell of a fighter and he paid the cost
Think you'll find everything you'll need here in what I read
You'll know exactly where he'd want these ashes spread
Like in Panama City 'round spring break
Down in Okeechobee maybe out on the lake
Walkin Duval Street with a margarita in your hand
At the ol' mud hole makin' lots of noise
Or in Ybor City hangin' out with the boys
Man this soldier I'm talkin' 'bout sure was great
Glad he finally made it home to the Sunshine State
