DJ/rupture & Maga Bo-Beyond Digital

DJ/producers DJ/rupture and Maga Bo are trying to raise $5,000 to go to Morocco to research Auto-Tuning in Berber folk music and releated topics.

From Mudd Up:

I’m teaming up with Maga Bo, Fader magazine photo editor John Francis Peters, and Taliesen Gilkes-Bower to explore musical innovation in Morocco via collaboration, teaching, documentation, and digital storytelling. It’s a monthlong art project, going down in & around Marrakesh this June.

Our focus? How creative adaptations of global digital technologies in Morocco — such as Auto-Tune use in Berber folk music — are helping to transform youth culture and suggesting powerful alternatives to Western concepts of digital literacy.

This seems like as good a reason as any to go to Morocco. You can make a donation ($1 minimum) here if you wish to help.
