	Arab Contribution to music The Syrian Honorary Consulate Toronto Canada
		The muwashshah and zajal type songs have their roots in the Arab East and North Africa, but were developed in Al-Andalus.
		After the Muslims were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula, the poets of the muwashshah and zajal were dispersed throughout the Arab world and, eventually, their art became popular in every Muslim country.
		Both the muwashshah and zajal poetry are clearly to be found in the early music and song of Europe.

		One of the many excellent albums he's recorded, Muwashshah [+] offers abundant proof that when it comes to Middle Eastern and North African music, Hamza El Din [+] is as impressive a musician as he is a singer.
		El Din's soulful vocals are something to treasure, but even if he did no singing whatsoever, his oud playing on hypnotic gems like "Assaramessuga," "Gala 2000" and "Bint Baladna" would make the CD worth the price of admission.
		The oud is a very recognizable lute that has been prominent in traditional Arabic music for centuries -- anyone who has spent time listening to traditional Middle Eastern music has more than likely been exposed to the oud at some point -- and El Din's mastery of it is undeniable.

		The muwashshah (pl. muwashshahat) tradition is a song genre in which poetry, commonly perceived to have been written in al-Andalus (the Iberian Peninsula or Islamic Spain ca 711-1492), is set to music.
		There is no doubt that in recent years, the dominant perception of the beginning of Syria’s special music significance dates to the muwashshah tradition, which is thought to have spread from Islamic Spain (al-Andalus) to Aleppo, Syria, and Cairo, Egypt beginning in the early tenth century.
		Both the muwashshah and sama‘i traditions date from earlier historical periods whereas Farid and his music lived and flourished in the twentieth-century modern nation state of Syria.

		Moorish Spain also witnessed the development of a literary-musical form that utilized romantic subject matter and featured strophic texts with refrains, in contrast to the classical Arabic qasidah, which followed a continuous flow of lines or of couplets using a single poetical meter and a single rhyme ending.
		The muwashshah form, which was utilized by major poets, also emerged as a musical form and survived as such in North African cities and in the Levant, an area covering what is known historically as greater Syria and Palestine.
		In this area, the muwashshah genre became popular in Aleppo, Syria.

		The musical and literary flourescence that took place in the courtly circles of Islamic Spain (al-Andalus) from the 9th to 15th centuries eventually found refuge in exile along the North African littoral in the aftermath of the Christian Reconquest and the great expulsions (1492 for Jews, 1608-10 for the last Muslim populations).
		The Andalusian poetic forms of muwashshah and zajal swept through the entire Arab-speaking world during the late Middle Ages and rapidly became two of the most common of Arabic literary genres.
		(The popular version is that Ziryaab himself, the famous 9th-century musician, organized the grand nuubas; the lyrics to these nuubas, however, consist almost entirely of zajals and muwashshahs which are forms that post-date Ziryaab’s lifetime by nearly two centuries.) In fact, it is not known when the formation of the “grand nuubas” took place.

		Do you think it is good?Ó ÒWhy is this music, our music from al-Andalus, so special?Ó In short, for the foremost theorist and scholar of Arab music in Syria, ÔAjan, muwashshahat are a principle part of the repertoire he teaches, discusses, and performs on the Ôud (Arab lute) and violin.
		As Syrian musical practice indicates, one important component is the heritage of al-Andalus, not in broad historical Arab terms, but in ÔSyriaÕs select presentationÕ of it.
		And while Saudis, Egyptians, Iraqis, and Arabs throughout the world may differ in their opinion as to who is the greatest Ôud player of all time, my documentation suggests that Farid is consistently among the top five.

		Insha'allaah um dia também, muito que sejam descendentes dos Mudélhares poderão aprender este dialeto do Árabe Andaluz também, para os Mouriscos que falam Árabe Muwashshah do Árabe Andaluz, chegarão à aprender como falar Árabe Mudajjanee ou Árabe Mudélhar.
