Traditional Libyan Music

I couldn't find any traditional Libyan music, specifically Malouf (which i'm a fan of!), and so thought I would fill the gap! Enjoy!

This type of music is known as Maluf. It originated in Andalusia Spain when the Arabs ruled most of Spain. When the Arabs were expelled from Spain some of them went to North Africa and took this type of music with them. As a result Morocco, Tunisia & Algeria also have a similar style of Maluf music although it is known by a different name in those countries. (find out more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andalusian_classical_music).

The artist that sung the song in my video is called Hassan Arabi. There are many groups in Libya who sing Maluf, but Hassan Arabi and his group are one of the most well known.

If you would like to download this song (it's called Tarz Ar Rayhaan) and others you can get them here:

Thanks!

@sihaanm: sorry, my Arabic is only basic so translating will be almost impossible. Maybe if you ask really nicely someone else might translate for you :-)

Media propaganda has corrupted so many americans into thinking that muslim and arab countries are bad people, Because they caused 9/11...

How do we know they caused 9/11?

I don't know that, They never said,"MUSLIM PEOPLE KILLED OUR TWIN TOWERS!" i never heard that in the news so stfu dumb news.
