MUSIC
Tunisian music is characterized by the diversity of its modes,
which is called ‘Maqamat’ and variety of its rhythms.
Among the main forms of classical Tunisian music, there is the
Nouba (oldest and most authentic form of Andalusian origin,)
the Chghoul and the Bachraf (of Turkish origin.)
again, “Foundou” and “Zindali”, two main popular forms
of music and the Arab Orient (mainly Egypt, Syria and Lebanon)
have also influenced Tunisian music.
The Rashidia
Institute, created in 1934 to preserve, teach and promote the
national heritage, public and private music schools, and the
National Broadcasting System (created in 1938,) all have
contributed to the development of Tunisian music and helped it
reach wider audiences.
Among the best-known Tunisian musicians, singers and composers
are Khemais Tarnane, Raoul Journou, Saliha, Saleh Mehdi, Ali
Riahi and Hedi Jouini.
