Yes! This week this message reaches you one day before because Shavuot begins\u00a0tonight. Let’s start to create the atmosphere for this time for study and reflection with a piyyut sang on nouba Raml Maya.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n![](\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/bc493816d894ee14ba9103e7b\/images\/29924501-ffe1-4efb-acc3-3f2172681f33.png\")

In this occasion I have to thank once more the team of Dark\u00e9 Abotenou <\/a>as the piece that accompanies us today is from their Youtube channel.<\/strong><\/p>\nOnce again the Sephardic legacy has the lead role in this diggest. Not the Eastern one, but the North African, with a piyyut sang on the nouba or makam<\/em>?Raml Maya<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is a makam<\/strong>? Very basically, in the Arabic, Persian, Turkish… music a makam is a scale, like a guide for performance, that defines a mood.
\nAnd what is a nouba<\/strong>? A nouba is a collection of chained pieces, like a suit with different parts and those parts are called m\u00eez\u00e2n<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\nThe concept of nouba (also written as nawba) is deeply related to the Andalusi classical music and to Ziryab, musician in the court of Abd al-Rahman II in Cordoba in the IX century. He came from Persia and he put the seeds for this music to develope during the following centuries. The noubas developed in the North of Africa and nowadays there are kept eleven noubas in Morocco and sixteen in Algeria. In the web site Hazanout.com, dedicated to the hazanout in Morocco, they are mentioned 16<\/a> and the terms of makam and nouba are both used without further clarification.<\/p>\n\n
