Within the framework of the project “Exhibition of Moroccan Art: Cordoba, 1946” launched by Casa Árabe with the cooperation of the University of Aberdeen, we will be hosting this workshop by musician Amin Chachoo on Thursday, May 11. Registration now open.
In addition to the exhibition and congress, the program, which aims to provide a holistic look at this historical process, will include this music workshop given by Amin Chachoo.
The workshop will provide a short class on the music of Al-Andalus, followed by a work on two Al-Andalus themes, in two different melodic and rhythmic modes. The purpose of the workshop is to allow students to discover the melodies of Al-Andalus, their basic modes of expression and forms, as well as how to improvise in the musical modes of Al-Andalus.
