Constantine Malouf Nights in Constantine
An evening concert series in Constantine dedicated to malouf, the city's own school of Arab-Andalusian classical music with roots traced to Seville, staged in intimate historic venues across the gorge-top old town in a more informal format than the city's larger, competitively structured malouf festival.
Constantine's evenings of malouf performance take the city's own school of Arab-Andalusian classical music, whose repertoire traces its closest lineage to the musical heritage of Seville, out of the formal festival-competition format of the city's dedicated International Cultural Festival of Malouf Music and into a more intimate concert series staged across summer nights.
