Arabic Maqam World

Maqam World is a non-commercial, educational web site dedicated to helping musicians understand the maqam or modal system used in classical Arabic music. Maqam World attempts to simplify the subject for the Arabic music beginner, while trying hard to remain correct and not exclude any essential information. As this is a very rich subject, this web site is a work in progress which relies on the contribution of musicians and the feedback of its reader community.

    khepa.livejournal.com Khepa: Amir Elsaffar: Iraqi Maqam and Jazz

    The use of the word maqam in Iraq is distinct from its use in the rest of the Arab world and Turkey, where the term refers to a musical mode on which compositions and improvisations are based.

    secretarchivesofthevatican.wordpress.com What is Drumstep? « Secret Archives of the Vatican

    We’ve been hearing much about drumstep lately – but what is it? There seems to be the same wide range of opinions as there was when dubstep first reached out beyond the confines of Croydon to a waiting world. Heck, people are still arguing about dubstep years later. Broadly speaking, it seems dru... Read article
