Al-maqam al-'Iraqi المقام العراقي

المقام العراقي من الفنون الموسيقية العربية القديمة معروفة في بغداد والموصل وكركوك منذ حوالي ٤٠٠ عام وجذوره تمتد الى اواخر العصر العباسي ويعد جسرا بين الموسيقى العربية والفارسية والتركية حيث تلاقحت الحضارات الثلاث في مدينه بغداد لتنجب لنا فن المقامات العراقية.

المقام يؤديه قارئ وجوق صغير يتألف من آلات السنطور والجوزة والدمبك والدف الزنجاري والنقارة وتسمى هذه الفرقة بالچالغي البغدادي وفي القرن الماضي ادخلوا آلات اخرى كالعود والقانون والكمان والناي والتشلو

The Iraqi Maqam (Maqam al-'Iraqi) is considered the most noble and perfect form of the maqam. As the name implies, it is native to Iraq with roots dating back to the Abbasid era and earlier; its current form has been known for about 400 years in Baghdad, Mosul and Kirkuk. The Maqam al-'Iraqi has been passed on orally through the Iraqi masters of the maqam, who cultivate the form especially in Baghdad.

The Iraqi Maqam is traditionally performed by a vocalist (qari') and three instrumentalists playing santur (hammered dulcimer), jawza (spike fiddle) and tablah or dumbuk (goblet drum). Sometimes a fourth instrument, a riqq or daf zinjari (tambourine) also joins in. Al-Chalghi al-Baghdadi is the name of this ensemble. Al-Maqam al-'Iraqi is the name of the musical genre. (Touma 1996)
