Al-Ala Music (globally known as Andalusian music), Chgouri (Moroccan popular music) and Matrouze which literally means “embroidered” in Arabic making reference to the fact that in this musical genre Arabic and Hebrew languages are woven together in perfect harmony.
Let’s take a closer look at some of these types of music.
Al-Ala music, often known as Arabo-Andalusian music, is a classical genre which dates back to the reign of the Umayyads in Andalusia–the Iberian Peninsula–(approximately from the 8th century CE). Its songs are inspired by both Islamic and Jewish spiritual poems set to music.
Chgouri is a popular genre sung in Moroccan Arabic. It is known for fast rhythms, dance music, and sometimes bold lyrics. Chgouri was inspired by many musical genres brought together, including flamenco, and popular Moroccan genres such as Gharnati, Melhoun, Aita and Gnawa. For the Jewish community of Morocco, it often accompanied joyous celebrations such as weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and brit milot (circumcision) parties. The genre was also popular during Muslim and Christian celebrations, and is a symbol of coexistence.
Matrouze (literally “embroidered” in Arabic) is a Moroccan-Jewish musical tradition based on the interweaving of different concepts and styles–Judaism with Islam, Arabic with Hebrew, the sacred with the secular. The tradition of Matrouze contains songs of praise to God, combining the Hebrew and Muslim traditions. In song, the children of Abraham are brought together in prayer and celebration.
