Orchestre de Tanger - Andalusian music

09/18/2007 New York World Festival - Sounds of the Mediterranean - Central Park SummerStage http://www.summerstage.org/
Orchestre de Tanger - The Orchestra of Tangier, is under the direction of Ahmed Zaitouni, the 76-year-old founder of the Conservatory of Tangier who is widely considered to be the last living legend of Moroccan Andalusian music. Zaitouni studied with many great masters of Andalusian music, including the revered Sheikh Moulay Ahmed Ouazzane. The orchestra, comprised of graduates of the Conservatory of Tangier, features virtuoso musicians on rebab (fiddle), oud (lute), violin, viola, tar (tambourine), darbouka (goblet drum) and vocals, along with guest artist Abderrahim Souiri, one of the most popular Andalusian vocalists in Morocco. Since its formation in 1981, the orchestra has performed at many prestigious music festivals and events in the Middle East and Europe and received international recognition for its recordings of traditional Andalusian music. Its performances feature excerpts from the classical nuba repertoire - vocal and instrumental suites which evolved over 1,000 years ago in Cordoba, Spain (which was ruled by the Moors) and are credited to the Baghdad musician Zyriab.
