Andalusian Music Festival Algiers in Algiers
An Algiers festival dedicated to the Sanaa, the capital's own school of Arab-Andalusian classical music with roots traced to Cordoba, gathering formal nuba concerts by Algerian and Maghrebi ensembles across historic venues that include the capital's old Casbah quarter overlooking the harbor and the wide bay beyond it.
Algiers hosts the Sanaa, one of Algeria's three regionally distinct schools of Arab-Andalusian classical music, whose repertoire traces its closest lineage to the musical tradition of Cordoba, setting it apart from Tlemcen's Granada-linked Gharnati style and Constantine's Seville-linked malouf.
