CD of Traditional Arabic Music
Arab world music embodies a complex cultural tapestry. Over centuries of indigenous and nomadic tradition has produced a range of regional styles; globalization presents these local musical cultures with new challenges and opportunities. From Anouar Brahem’s lute playing to Umm Kulthum’s metered melodies – traditional Arabic world music spans across North Africa to Levant and back again.
Up until recently, most recorded Arabic world music had been produced using Western instruments like piano and violin. But due to world music’s surge in popularity, traditional Arabic instruments and performers now enjoy greater visibility within contemporary world music scenes – such as the qanun, Egyptian harp called zither (aka the Egyptian Zither), Ney and Riq. These have all become integral components of world music’s contemporary repertoire.
Some musicians have taken steps to preserve and reinterpret traditional Arabic music for contemporary audiences. One such group, founded by Moroccan composer and musician Farid Al-Attrach, are The Master Musicians of Jajouka. Their music features distinctive, recognizable musical phrases known as maqams that use seven-tone scales arranged into distinct maqams that include tones that may sound “out of tune” when measured against equal-tempered tuning systems used on Western instruments.
Kazem El-Saher of Iraqi is another major force in contemporary Arabic world music, performing songs in Modern Standard Arabic with romantic, political, and patriotic lyrics that often express his affection for his home nation.
