Episode Synopsis

Send us a textStoryteller Bill Gordh and gnawa artist Samir LanGus improvise the Moroccan tale of The Sultan's Horse, in which the Sultan must choose one of his three sons to be his successor, and tasks them with traveling and returning with a report of what they have seen and done. While the elder sons choose the fastest horses, the youngest son chooses his father's old horse, who leads him to a singing feather, and ultimately sends them on a journey to find the Sultan of the Spirits' daughter. Samir sings and plays the gimbri - a three-string  lute that is central to the gnawa spiritual tradition.More about Samir LanGusSupport the showKeep in touch with us! Join our newsletter
