This new book seems to be interesting.



Rough translation from this article:


In the late 1960s, Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones, was musically inspired by a small village in the Moroccan Rif (a mainly mountainous region of northern Morocco). Gaston Carré has just published a book edited by Erick Bonnier, titled "A Rolling Stone in the Rif, in the footsteps of Brian Jones in Morocco" and retracing the passage of this artist in that country.

On TV5 Monde, in a video posted today on YouTube, the writer tells the story of this "personality a little difficult, almost a character" who soon "had problems with the group." Brian Jones has "been stripped of his prestige and ejected" from the band, says Gaston Carré.

Between 1966 and 1967, the founder of the Rolling Stones came to Morocco with his group. He went to meet the authors who regularly stay in Tangier. It was then that one of them brought to his knowledge "the existence of a brotherhood of mystical musicians in a small village south of Tangier".

Having to rebuild himself and make a life outside the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones discovers the virtuosos of Jajouka, the village of musicians. He "is literally fascinated". He returns with a sound engineer and records "Master Musicians of Jajouka led by Bachir Attar".

Gaston Carré came across this album at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. That's what led him to do his investigation to write this book, having as protagonist the famous founding father of the Rolling Stones.
