Goa, India - 2000 -

Some time ago,Goa was a paradise for the travellers who, before attaining the exotic west coast of India, were often coming from a rough travel.Hence ,Anjuna market was the rendez vous to meet all your friends,and trade one good for another.This was the time of the Music house in Chapora , the all night beach parties, and the unexpensive life in a beautiful land, refuge of the freaks of the world....

 

Today , it is still the haven of the travellers but it seems that the live music happennings and the big Bhom Shankar rituals on the beach have now become memories of the past.Certain places are stiill "shanti" and it is still worth passing by Bardez,Goa when you're travelling in India!

 

Moving away from Babylon. Took us years but now we're gone.
Leavin' from the citie's womb.
A life to see the world's your home!

 

 

Morroco - 2001-

Ouazazate 2001.

Since the crowning of Mohamed 6, a wind of freedom has refreshened the morrocan atmosphere. Travellers are once again welcome to enjoy the many wonders that the country beholds, as alternative happenings have lately been blossoming from North to South.
December 2000, from Paris, it took us a three days and three nights' bus trip to reach a valley next to Ouarzazate where the new year's party was to take place... And as we finally arrived...


...Amazing! A TRANCE EVENT ON A ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A LAKE LOCATED IN A DESERTIC LANDSCAPE DISTANTLY SURROUNDED BY THE ATLAS SNOWY MOUNTAIN RANGE. Moreover, a rave party in the sunny land of Islam for the opening of the new millenium!!

 

...Apparently, one of the reasons why the king gave his agreement for the event to take place was that it involved well known artist from the morrocan folk and Gnawa trance scene with international performances such as Total Eclipse or Star Sound Orchestra, etc.
Hilight Tribe was to play on the opening night after the impressive representation of Mahmoud Guenya and his fellow Gnawa troups.
..
... Before starting a live, you always need a few moments to plug in, set up, and get high! This pause was the opportunity to contemplate the variety of people on the dancefloor : all coming from differents corners of the world yet obviously converging in the same direction. Morrocans, japanese, europeans, americans and even iranians were warming up the vibes together! (It is crucial to add that the ambient temperature at night was approximately of 5° C)
...From the instant we started the Natural Trance set, the dancefloor was full power... like a bond fire in the middle of the desert!

 
During these three days, amongst many people, we made friends with a morrocan rasta surf drumming crew who invited us to stay in their community to appreciate the many treasures of their country. That's how some members of the Hilight crew stayed a month longer : Rising suns in the dunes, jams on the Atlantic coast, and Ethno botanical studies in the Rif mountains ; we couldn't have missed out on that !

Koulchi Bekher !

REMEMBER

Hilight Tribe shall play at "La Palmeraie de Marrakech" at the Golf Palace Hotel Festival on the 11th of August.

Important : The openning of the Rif beach Camping near Stehat in North Morrroco. On this occasion, Goa Gil (one of the first to mix in Goa) will be performing his extraordinary marathon 24 hour set. Go to www.goagil.com for more informations.
