On my music system, "Nos couleurs" sung by Cheb Mami featuring K. Maro. Around me, sounds reverberate. A curious mix of rap, french, arabic, african beats surround me. Amazing!!!
I have been a great fan of Rai music, the greatest musicians of this genre being Cheb Mami, Faudel, Khaled, etc. This music is such a combination of sweet sensibilities. There are numerous lines of rhythm running through it. The Arabic way of singing just serves to add a dash of poignancy to this song.
Music is so universal that our modern genres are amalgams of pieces of different cultures. Like how salsa and latin music is a mix of african beats and spanish music. Or how jazz evolved.
It would be interesting to draw a "Music Tree" that classifies the different genres of music, similar to the "Language Tree" that classifies languages as belonging to different families.
