Traditional Berber Music

[MrLucka18]

this is not berber music

but it's ottoman "turkish" music called Makam

[4evermarokko]

Its Arab Maroccan Music Not Maroccan Berber !!!!!!!

[KulveDuman]

This music is called Longa in Ottaman music from 19th Century. The mode [in Turkish it is called maqam (written: makam)] is Sehnaz (written: Şehnâz). The composer is Santûri Ethem Efendi (Sir Ethem the Santoor Master).

[miloudish11]

This is music from Morocco, im marocain, can you see in my page of youtube

[Allyredstar]

Arabian music, not from Morocco LOL

[4evermarokko]

@Allyredstar Haha This is maroccan arabic al andalus Concert Ok in marocco exist berbers And Arabs Asshole !!!!!!!!!!

[GothN00b]

This is Arabic Music ;) Please Correct the title , I'm from Morocco By the way

[MrLatajf]

This is not berber music.

It is arabic.

I'm from Morocco, so I know what i'm talking about.

[Classic1940s]

This is so beautiful! Thanks for posting :)

[theseeker85]

granted i don't know the most about berber music, but I know about arabic music and this sounds like typical music you can hear throughout the middle east; all the other videos on youtube that claim to be berber music sound nothing like this. Which leads me to believe its just Morrocans (who might happen to be berber) playing typical arabic music.

[shnoepie1]

The Darbuka isn't Arab, it has its origins in Africa, with the instrument having never been played in Arabia untill after Islam. The Nay was used in Ancient Egypt and Persia far before it was played in Arabia. You can't call those instruments Arab, because they aren't. Also this music is Berber, because it a distinct Berber sound and it is played traditionally by Berbers (no matter what the instruments are).

[dumnorkevi]

@shnoepie1 this video is not filmed by moroccans so they dont know what music it is. its not berber its andalusian. and i dont like this music and dont defend it

[MouadiniIE]

Is this Berber music? I don't think so, this is pure Arabic music! Berber music is different, yet fun :)

[sofiankrt]

@MouadiniIE Nah-uh, that's Ottoman Turkish music. The first piece is a longa. Can't remember what maqam it was, though, sorry :(

[shnoepie1]

@MouadiniIE How is this Arab...? Can you please explain? The instruments arent from Arabia (Andalusian and Berber), the melody is absolutely Berber with its typical use of the fluit, etc.

[MouadiniIE]

@shnoepie1 I'm sorry, but the derbakka is Arabic, so is the nay(the flute), the qanoun. And the beat is more Arabic, since I'm a firm listener of Arabic music (both Maghrebian and Middle Eastern) I would say, yes this is more Arabic.

[shnoepie1]

You being a fan doesn't say anything. I'm a huge fan of rap, but I couldn't tell you where the mixboard or synthesizer originate from.. The Darbuka most probably has an African origin, with the first mention of it being in Egypt. The Nay is 1000% not Arab: long before Islam the Egyptians and Persians had a long Nay tradition. What do you define as Arab? To me it means anything originated in the Arab homeland (Arabia). These instruments were NOT invented in Arabia, not even by arabized people.

[theseeker85]

@shnoepie1 The Darbuka originates from the middle east, not sure why you say African origin maybe you are confusing it with the Djembe? And the Nay is very ancient with wall paintings in pyramids (egypt) depicting ney players as well as actual neys being excavated in Ur (present day Iraq)..while both of these are tradional arab instruments its tough to say arabs created them ; they are 5000+ years old (long before arabs existed)

[csat35]

yeah i just checked it out, its music by Santuri ethem bey, its a traditional ottoman peice. By the way i have many respects towards Berbers, as i am a kurd, and have the same discrimination against us in turkey, iraq, iran and syria!!!!

Long live justice, peace, freedom and righteousness!!!

For Berbers and Kurds freedom!!!

[csat35]

I thought this was Ottoman music!!!! NO??

[Cuteyoshigirl]

I just found out through a DNA test that I have Berber and Saami in my blood. :P

[dumnorkevi]

but stil arabs are only mixed with berbers in morocco. they talk arabic but not arabs fully. thats a fact

[flyingmonkey4]

Berber influence has manifested itself musically across the entirety of North Africa, as the group is nomadic. Yes, style is specialized regionally, and yes, Persian/Arab influences often show their influences in this music as well as turkish forms, but there is little reason to believe this is anything other than Moroccan Berber music.

[sofiankrt]

@flyingmonkey4 Well, considering it's a well-known Ottoman musical piece...

watch?v=_l0DkySBI4U

[bahraouik]

this is tunisian maalof which is definitely turkish !

[manoffreewill]

IT SOUNDS MORE ARAB THAN BERBER

[PrehensionGirl]

@manoffreewill Berbers are Arab.

[awayger]

no whe are not arabs, berbers are berbers.

[manoffreewill]

actually berbers are descended from indonesians that invaded africa a long time ago, i have met berbers before and they dont look arab they look indonesian and i have a book aswell that says that they are descended from people from indonesia , in a book called wonders of our natural world that has descriptions of places and people and history behind it.

[sumthin5]

@manoffreewill would u shut the fuck up please ..... berbers from indonesia lool , people did years and years to discover the origin of the berbers and no one did.

here look at this : /watch?v=k1RNTMttAIk

[theseeker85]

@manoffreewill sorry i know this was posted a long time ago but I felt i had to address this. there seems to be alot of misinformation on this video...Berbers are NOT from indonesian and imo don't look indonesian at all. Berbers are indigenous to North Africa, do you know what indigenous means?

[xmyusufx]

its turkish music...

[dumnorkevi]

@xmyusufx no its andalusian music. the one who posted it must be cunfused. im moroccan i know. and no its not turkish music. its music from fez=andalusian music generasion

[sofiankrt]

@dumnorkevi No, it's Ottoman. It's called the Sehnaz Longa, by Ethem Effendi. My guess is that they were playing music from the Ottoman repertoire, which Arabs widely do.

/watch?v=_l0DkySBI4U

[Sefk3]

this is not berber music, nor is it andalusian...

[BMJSpectre1962]

I like the berber people, in Algiers at the moment (long way from Australia), really nice people... Actually, most people the world over are really nice, just sometimes collectively they get nasty. So, as an Aussie would say "good an ya Berbers"!

[quiagen]

This is definitely not a berber music.

[MrEdie101]

berbers live a stone age life style. forget bout music/

[MassNssen]

The pathetic part of your statament is that it was aimed an an insult.

[midowash]

[NabilTheBad]

The berber race is one among the best and the neatest on earth ...If you say such things, that means that you have experienced this in your culture ....son of the bitch !!! I could say at 100% that your parents were not married ,were they ? go ask mom !!! You r too filthy to reach a culture like the berber culture ,bastard !!!! ...I know u have something against the berbers ....They must have come to ur culture and did to ur women what u have described above .. son of the bitch

[Maroc4Amazigh]

Sir tkowad, a wald alkahba. Fucking Moron.

[MassNssen]

This has nothing to do with moroccan music. It's rather Turkish.

[Maroc4Amazigh]

This is Moroccan music, you moron.

[MassNssen]

If "Morocco" is the name of some Turkish province then yes, this is indeed Moroccan. Otherwise I really can't see how this has anything to do with the North African country. Perhaps you can name the area of Morocco where this music origniates, that would be very helpful.

[Maroc4Amazigh]

I don't think you are a moroccan. This is DEFENETLY MORROCCAN MUSIC. It's GHARNATI/ANDALUSIAN music, during the time of Al-Andalus. I think you're a turq, who likes to claim every culture heritage, like arabesque music. This belongss to Morocco, don't touch it. Only listening is permitted.

[MassNssen]

Ash katkharbeq a ssi mohamed? qallek turki! A turkish guy with "MassNssen" as a username, quite interesting!

This music has nothing to do with Andalusian music. I can tell as I was forced to listen to that decadent urban crap(i.e. Andalusian music) all Ramadan as I was groiwng up.

And by the way, Arabesque is a kind of decorative motifs and not a genre of music.

[ixexi]

turkish music it is.

[cihazmihaz]

Sehnaz Longa by Santuri Ethem Bey

[alebnan]
