The story

Tripoli International Malouf Festival in Tripoli / Qasr Al-Khald

A 'Tripoli International Malouf Festival' at Qasr Al-Khald could not be confirmed by exact name. Malouf is a genuine, widely performed North African and Andalusi musical genre found across Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria, and Tripoli is confirmed to host several music festivals, including a Tripoli Summer Festival and a Tripoli International Jazz Festival.

Malouf is one of North Africa's most enduring musical inheritances, a genre with roots in Andalusi court music that migrated across the Mediterranean and took hold in Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria after the Reconquista, evolving distinct regional variations while keeping its characteristic modal structures and traditional instrumentation.
