MA
Marocco
المغرب
Ventisei brani strumentali attraverso il Marocco: il Sahara, Marrakech, Fès, Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Essaouira, Tangeri e l'Atlante.
Tradizioni
- Andalusi classical music travelled south with the people expelled from Iberia, and is still played in Fez and Tetouan as a suite form called the nuba.
- Gnawa music, rooted in sub-Saharan West Africa, is ceremonial: the all-night lila moves through colours and spirits, carried by a three-stringed bass lute and iron castanets.
- The Amazigh traditions of the Atlas and the Rif are their own languages and their own musics, distinct from the Arabic repertoire of the cities.
- Essaouira, a port with its own festival, is where the Gnawa tradition has met jazz and other musics most openly.
Strumenti
- Guembri — three-stringed bass lute central to Gnawa ceremony
- Qraqeb — large iron castanets that drive the Gnawa pulse
- Oud — the lute of the Andalusi repertoire
- Bendir — frame drum with snare strings beneath the skin
- Rabab — bowed fiddle of the Andalusi orchestra
- Ney and lotar — reed flute and Amazigh lute of the mountains
