Andalusian Music of Morocco: Orchestra of Tangier September 8, 2007

Orchestra of Tangier, led by the legendary master, Ahmed Zaitouni, introduces this festive yet contemplative Moroccan classical music to West Coast.

The thousand-year-old Andalusian Music was performed in Southern Spain until the Reconquista, when non-Christian populations had to leave the area. Their musical and poetic traditions have been preserved in Morocco and other Maghreb countries.

Orchestra of Tangier performs excerpts from their musical and poetic traditions called Nubas (instrumental and vocal suites) with master musicians on rebab, violin, viola, tambourine and goblet drum.
