Billy Corgan speaks Moroccan at the end. The instrumental music in Joujouka forms two distinct repertoires with very different origins. Firstly there is the music called Boujeloudia which is traditionally performed annually on the Islamic feast of Aid el Kebir. This suite of music is played while a boy sewn into fresh goat skins dances in frenzy. The music is used to keep the goat-man at bay. The music for Boujeloud, or the Father of Skins, is frantic and has six movements which would equate to a symphony or the score of an opera if it were European classical music. The festival and ritual originate in the worship of the God Pan. Pan was evoked in the springtime to ensure the fertility of both the crops and the people. The people of Joujouka have kept this ancient tradition alive. The Musicians are holding The Brian Jones 40th Anniversary Festival in their village in Joujouka, Morocco on 29th July 2008.
