MUSICAL FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES, Part One
| In the summer of 1993, Argentinean-born pianist Mirian Conti performed a concert of Paul Bowles' music in Tangier, Morocco, held in the Salle Samuel Beckett. Paul Bowles was present for this rare recital of his music in Tangier, and was honored by the presence of Princess Lalla Fatima Zohra. After the concert several of Bowles' close friends were invited to the Palais Royal de Tanger in R'milat, where the pianist also performed several short piano works. Other photographs on this page include film director Owsley Brown III, whose excellent documentary film Night Waltz: the Music of Paul Bowles would later receive several awards; duo-pianists Arthur Gold and Robert Fizdale, composer David Diamond and Paul Bowles with the Gnawa Express musicians in Tangier. |
