Arguably the most famous piece of music to come out of Morocco, the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka was a world music record produced by Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones.  Jones called the tracks "a specially chosen representation" of music played in the village during the annual week-long Rites of Pan Festival. It was significant for presenting the Moroccan group to a global audience.

The album's music included songs meant for the village's "most important religious holiday festival, Aid Eel Kbir The festival's ritual of dressing a young boy dressed as "Bou Jeloud, the Goat God" wearing the "skin of a freshly slaughtered goat", involved the child's running to "spread panic through the darkened village" as the musicians played with abandon.
