The ma’lūf of Libya. A treasure to preserve.
25 JUL. 2024 · When we think about what has been called “classical music” of Maghreb, oral by tradition and linked to a past medieval artistic splendour, we immediately think of Morocco and Algeria, then of Tunisia, but much less of Libya.
In Libya sufi brotherhoods played an important role in preservation and transmission of the nawabat (suites) common heritage for all the North Africa of Andalusian-Maghrebi art music, and the so called ma’lūf az-zāwiya, is the core of this tradition which is rooted in the Muslim Spain. However when it is performed by professional or semi professional musicians, it is generally indicated as ma’lūf alidhā‛.
The Arab Andalusian musical tradition of Libya is close to the Tunisian one and shares the same name of ma’lūf.
Guiding us in this tradition is Philip Ciantar, Associate Professor at the Department of Music Studies of the University of Malta.
During his field research in Tripoli, Philip Ciantar met with Hassan Araibi, the musician who was one of the most important connoisseurs of the repertoire of sung poetry organised in different modal suites. From this experience the maltese scholar started to investigate further this living tradition, meeting also with the members of the Araibi Ensemble that was part of the Libyan Radio. Prof. Ciantar listened and learned from their point of view the features, the key concepts and the poetic of this enchanting musical tradition.
About Philip Ciantar
Philip Ciantar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Music Studies within the School of Performing Arts, University of Malta. He teaches ethnomusicology and related subjects. His research interests lie in the areas of Mediterranean music studies; Andalusian music in North Africa; Maltese popular music; music and colonialism; the transmission of musical knowledge; and world music analysis. His publications include articles in a variety of journals and edited volumes, as well as entries in leading music encyclopedias. Among his publications are two single-authored monographs: The Ma’lūf in Contemporary Libya: An Arab Andalusian Musical Tradition (Ashgate 2012; Routledge 2016) and Studies in Maltese Popular Music (Routledge 2021).

Rural voices of Morocco across the Mediterranean echoes in Italy.
24 JUN. 2024 · Who are the Moroccan professional female singer-dancers (shikhat) from the rural Atlantic plateau?
And what the Moroccan migrants in Italy, in particular the community of workers in Umbria, listen to?
These and many other questions arise from the fieldwork experiences of Alessandra Ciucci in Morocco and Central Italy on the waves of the harsh sound of the ‘aita and the ‘abidat r-rma musical traditions. To explain the role of the female entertainers and the social environment where they came from, and to investigate what the community of Moroccan workers of Umbria like to listen to during their leisure time, she uses differents tools crossing ethnomusicology, popular music, gender and post-colonial studies.
About Alessandra Ciucci
Alessandra Ciucci is Associate Professor of Music (Ethnomusicology) at Columbia University. She received a PhD in music (ethnomusicology) from the City University of New York at the Graduate Center. Her research interests include: the music of Morocco, the Maghreb, the Mediterranean, gender and sexuality, sung poetry, popular music of the Arab world, and music and migration. Her first book, The Voice of the Rural (University of Chicago Press, 2022), explores the significance and the endurance of a specific notion of the rural (l-'arubiya), in music, poetry and the voice among migrant Moroccan men in the Umbria region of Italy. This Monograph interrogates how the idea of l-'arubiya, which is entangled with a sense of place, longing and belonging, becomes particularly meaningful in Italy where it articulates a personhood rooted in a masculinity that is denied to Moroccan men though their labor and migratory status.

A tool to bring people together and make the world a better place.
23 MAY. 2024 · This episode will let us travel in the Balkan Area and beyond, following minorities and migration flows.
The definition of the so-called "applied ethnomusicology" intersects with various activities that include study and research in a dimension where theory and practice are not separated but converge in the realization of different kind of projects.
Doing field research and work in contexts of tension and conflict is one of the main challenges of recent history for those who work in an intercultural perspective. The globalised era, such as the one we are living in, continuously questions the certainties of the discipline studying “local” musical cultures, which often belong to minority communities.
For Svanibor Pettan, interviewed for this episode, it was pivotal being born in Croatia and having lived in the Balkan area, a region affected by war and conflict. His attention towards minorities and, more recently, towards migrants and refugees is an example demonstrating the social function of ethnomusicology engaged in dissemination and cultural mediation.
About Svanibor Pettan
Svanibor Pettan is Professor and Chair in ethnomusicology at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His academic degrees are from the Universities of Zagreb, Croatia (B.A.), Ljubljana, Slovenia (M.A.), and Maryland, USA (Ph.D.), while his past and present fieldwork sites include central and southeastern Europe, Australia, Egypt, Norway, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and the USA.
His principal research topics are music and politics on a war-peace continuum, music and minorities, applied ethnomusicology, and institutional history of ethnomusicology.
His professional career includes full-time posts as radio editor, scholar in a research institute, and professor at a music academy, department of ethnology and cultural anthropology, and department of musicology. As pedagogue, he shaped the study of ethnomusicology in Slovenia from bachelor's to doctoral level, served as a visiting professor at 12 universities, currently in Maribor, Vienna, and Zurich, and gave over a hundred invited lectures in 40 countries.
He is the President of the International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance (ICTMD, the leading international association of ethnomusicologists and ethnochoreologists worldwide) and as Chair of its Study Group on Music and Minorities.

Plain-chant, spiritualité et humanité. Nous sommes tous semblables. | II° Part
22 ABR. 2024 · In the beginning it was plainchant with its different forms, many of which were replaced by the Gregorian chant where the Gallican and Roman traditions merged. It is to all this variety of dialects of the Christian liturgical chant - from Ambrosian to Mozarabic - that Marcel Pérès has dedicated his life as a singer and researcher. With his Ensemble Organum, created in 1982, Pérès has explored the nuances and accents of traditions handed down through the first forms of musical notation but also partly alive in oral transmission, especially in monastic practice.It is to the forms of singing of the oral tradition of the Mediterranean world that the musician, born in Oran (Algeria), turned to seek inspiration for the intonation of the divine word of the different liturgical families of Christianity, interpreting in a personal way the sources of primordial neumatic notations and infuse them with the vital breath of the voice that arises not only from the body movement but also from the movement of the soul.In his vision, the term neuma, the sign of musical writing, is indissoluble from the breath, pneuma, which adorns plainchant, one of the main roots of the history of music in the West and also part of the music of the Near East.
About Marcel Pérès
After studying organ and composition at the Nice Conservatory, Marcel Pérès continued his training in Great Britain and Canada. Returning to Europe in 1979, he specialized in medieval music. In 1982 he founded the Ensemble Organum, and undertook with them a methodical exploration of medieval liturgical repertoires, which resulted in international acclaim. He recorded about fifty discs - most of which have received the highest awards: the Diapason d'or, Classical Awards, Choc de l'année du Monde de la Musique, and the New York Times’ Essential Records of the 20th Century.

La langue musicale du MAQÂM et ses éléments clés.
21 MAR. 2024 · La langue musicale du MAQÂM et ses éléments clés is the third episode of https://www.uni-med.net/publications/mediterranean-intangible-heritage-sounscape-unimed-podcast/, and is in French.
At the source of the different musical cultures flowing into the Mediterranean world is what Nidaa Abou Mrad calls a modal monodic "language", with its different "dialects". In the Mashreq, the musical system defined by the term maqâm, represents a great transnational tradition of ancient origin and still alive. Between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, this tradition was reinvigorated thanks to masters and singers active in Egypt who - on a musical level - contributed to the artistic rebirth and intellectual awakening of the Mashreq, known - from an historical point of view - as Nahda.
Through intense concert activity, study and analysis, Abou Mrad - interviewed in this episode - has illustrated in depth the nature of the maqâm musical system, researching its roots in ancient musical civilisations, to underline the importance and value of this heritage.
About Nidaa Abou Mrad
Nidaa Abou Mrad, professor of Musicology and musical doctor, is the Dean of the Faculty of Music and Musicology and the Director of the Research Centre on Musical Traditions at the Antonine University in Lebanon.
He authored Éléments de sémiotique modale, an essay on generative grammar for monodic traditions, for which he won the CNRS-L Annual Research Excellence Award in 2017. He has published forty articles on the musical traditions of Mashreq and twenty CDs where, with the Ensemble of Arabic Classical Music, he performs on the violin (in an improvisatory way) sequences from the literate musical tradition of Mashreq and some of his own traditional modal compositions.

All is not lost. Aleppo's musical tradition in space and time.
22 ENE. 2024 · This episode will let us travel in the Syrian musical tradition, and in particular in Aleppo's ones. Jonathan Holt Shannon, interviewed for this episode, traces an historical excursus in the traditional music ending up in the contemporary Syrian scenario affected by the war and consequent migrations.
When Shannon's book Among the Jasmine Trees: Music and Modernity in Contemporary Syria was published in 2006, Aleppo was still the Syrian musical city par excellence, famous for having been able to preserve its precious traditional musical heritage.
In this episode, recorded before the tragic earthquake of 6 February 2023, the anthropologist and ethnomusicologist - who spent a long time in Syria - explains the cultural and musical importance of this city in the context of the Arab world, and talks about his field research and the meetings with musicians before and after the dramatic civil war that forced a large part of Aleppo's population into exile.
