This box set commemorates one of the most legendary field recording expeditions ever made.

It was the culmination of Bowles’s longstanding interest in North African music.Included are four CDs with D/L code in a silkscreened box with 120-page, foil-stamped, leatherette book, featuring extensive liner notes by Philip Schuyler; field notes by Paul Bowles; and an introduction by Lee Ranaldo.
