Música festera, coexistence and multimusicality during the making of The Unknown Spanish Levant (Egypt)
Andalusi music
Andalusi music traces its origins to the development of distinct musical and poetic forms (nubat, zejel, and so on) on the Iberian Peninsula since the ninth century. Andalusi music continues to be performed in various Mediterranean countries, predominantly Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. This article examines how Andalusi music links the precolonial imaginary, the colonial past, and postcolonial narratives of Spain within an Afro-Asian cont…
Andalusi music in Africa
The Orchestration of Postcolonial Zimbabwe
In many African countries, music became an essential vehicle of communication and social expression in order to build new postcolonial states. Further, throughout their independence, many African states reconsidered the direction of national culture towards a decolonisation process. As part of the broad subject of decolonial studies, this article offers a critical approach to the relationship between music and the state during a crucial period of…
Beyond Nationhood
This article examines the mobility of a precolonial musical style known as Haul music in two African countries, Western Sahara and Mauritania. Haul music is based on a modal system in which music and poetry are intrinsically related. This article traces the historical and musicological aspects of the Haul modal system in Western Sahara and Mauritania by offering an insight into how the postcolonial period has determined two narratives of Haul: a …
Nubenegra Records and Saharawi Music
Cet article analyse les interactions spécifiques gouvernant la relation entre la musique sahraouie issue des camps de réfugiés de Tindouf en Algérie et Nubenegra, un label de disques espagnol. Cet article vise à montrer comment la musique sahraouie provenant des camps de réfugiés de Tindouf est disséminée et commodifiée au travers de son interaction avec un label européen. Il révèle ainsi l'importance de considérer la musique transnationale dans …
The Transcultural Representation of Saharawi Music by Mariem Hassan and Nubenegra Records
This article examines the process of representation, dissemination, and commodification of Hassan’s music out of the Saharawi refugee camps of the Hamada desert in Algeria through its interaction with a Western record label, Nubenegra, between 2005 and 2012. Through the use of transcultural studies, this article examines both the interaction between Hassan and Nubenegra during the production of the Saharawi artist’s albums Deseos (2005) and Shouk…
Music and Islam in the Saharawi refugee camps of the Hamada desert, Algeria
This article examines the popularisation of medej in the Saharawi refugee camps of Tindouf, Algeria. Traditionally, medej is a religious musical style performed on Thursday evenings in a familiar environment. Medej also serves as an announcement to al jummah (Friday), the day of the week that Muslims are meant to meet at the mosque to listen to the imam’s sermon. However, the youth have popularized medej as a form of singing at weddings or nation…
Azawan
This article analyses Saharawi music as performed for the refugee community in the camps. I argue that the construction and evolution of Saharawi music in the camps is divided into two main areas: nationalism in relation to the decolonisation of Western Sahara, and maintenance of cultural values in Saharawi music found in the historical retention of the Haul modal system originating in precolonial Saharawi culture. Local audiences use the term Az…
