 Gysin linked the village's Boujeloud festival, where a boy sewn in goat skins danced with sticks while the musicians play to keep him at bay, to the ancient "Rites of Pan".In 1967 and 1968 Brian Jones, lead guitarist with The Rolling Stones, visited the village; at the end of his stay, he recorded the musicians for the LP "Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka".The LP was released on Rolling Stones Records in 1971, some two years after Jones's death.
