The musical tradition of Ma'luf is believed to have come to North
Africa with Muslim and Jewish refugees escaping the Christian
reconquista of Spain between the tenth and seventeenth centuries.
Although this Arab Andalusian music tradition has been studied in
other parts of the region, until now, the Libyan version has not
received Western scholarly attention. This book investigates the
place of this orally-transmitted music tradition in contemporary
Libyan life and culture. It investigates the people that make it
and the institutions that nurture it as much as the tradition
itself. Patronage, music making, discourse both about life and
music, history, and ideology all unite in a music tradition which
looks innocent from the outside but appears quite intriguing and
intricate the more one explores it.
