Bachir Attar is the leader of Master Musicians of Jajouka, who since 1990 have sometimes recorded under the name The Master Musicians of Jajouka featuring Bachir Attar. Attar's father, Hadj Abdesalam Attar, led the group at the time of their groundbreaking albums produced by Brian Jones and Joel Rubiner in the early 1970s. The group recorded under the shorter name "Master Musicians of Jajouka" on soundtracks for films including The Cell, appearances with the Rolling Stones on Steel Wheels, the second album of the group from 1974 produced by Rubiner, and the 1995 reissue of the group's first album, Brian Jones Presents The Pipes of Pan at Jajouka.
