Welcome to the MoroccanCulture Blog

Through the arabic language,Morocco received from the Orient an important artistic heritage.He was enriched after that with the Andalus culture(hispano-maurish).
Nowadays,a part of the musical tradition of this precious heritage appears in the countries of the Maghreb under the name of ala,çan'à gharnati maluf and recently the andalus music. Cordoba, Sevilla, Granada all shared in the boost of the language,the poetry and the andalus music .
The andalus music reigns as master of all events, weddings, romantic evenings...etc.
Despite of the beautiful melodies of the instruments it is the singing that prevails in this art and it is made of two genre :
*The melismatic solo with a free and improvised rythm backed up by a single instrument.
*The syllabical singing,whose melody is set and predetermined,sang by a choir sometimes punctuated by solo performances.
Our group was formed within the "Al Moussilia Association",it is made of 16 members divided into instrument players and singers (male and female),our group has dedicated itself to the spreading of this music throughout Morocco.
The Al Gharnati music,which how is called the music coming from the Andalus,forms the main basis of our repertoire that also includes other types of Moroccan and arabis music types.
Our group has taken part in several events and festivals national and internationnal: Greece; Holland; Spain; Portugal; Syria, Jordan; Algeria
