Performing al-Andalus explores three musical cultures that claim a
connection to the music of medieval Iberia, the Islamic kingdom of
al-Andalus, known for its complex mix of Arab, North African,
Christian, and Jewish influences. Jonathan Holt Shannon shows that
the idea of a shared Andalusian heritage animates performers and
aficionados in modern-day Syria, Morocco, and Spain, but with
varying and sometimes contradictory meanings in different social
and political contexts. As he traces the movements of musicians,
songs, histories, and memories circulating around the
Mediterranean, he argues that attention to such flows offers new
insights into the complexities of culture and the nuances of
selfhood.
