Taking its name from the lead instrument, the ribab – a single stringed bowed instrument from Morocco that we recorded with Ahmed Bijdiguen in the southern desert outside the small city of Tiznit, the track seemed to take on a naturally laid back ska-like vibe. With the ribab at times almost sounding like a muted trumpet, it blended wonderfully with calypso-influenced guitar of Luis Camacho recorded in Colombia’s beautiful Caribbean port city of Cartagena and the two samples then worked perfectly with improvised vocals recorded in Panjim, India, with Deetshida Murali.
