Overview
The two-part film "Noon in Tunisia" by Peter Lilienthal is a meeting of jazz and Arabic music at various public or open-air venues in Tunisia. Under the direction of George Gruntz, European and US jazz musicians play his suite-like composition "Maghreb Cantata", which is based on original Bedouin dances, together with Arab performers. The highlight is the Fazani, a rhythm of Bedouin tribes from the desert region of the Libyan-Tunisian border. The recording took place from 5.5. - 24.5.1969 in and around Tunis.
