Questions
Where can I hear oud, Andalusi and Gnawa music in the Netherlands?
The oud is the Arab lute, the heart of tarab, the music of Umm Kulthum's age. Andalusi music is the classical music of Al-Andalus, kept alive in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, which the Amsterdams Andalusisch Orkest plays. Gnawa is the trance music of Morocco's Gnawa, sung to the guembri, a bass lute, and the iron castanets. Concert halls, world music stages and festivals such as the UD Festival programme them.
