Nuubaat
Nuubaat
( ) is a form of
Algerian
classical music
. The term itself is the
plural
form of
nūba
(نوبة), a
suite
of old
Andalusian
musical pieces. It is these multi-
movement
works that give nuubaat its name. The music originally spread from
Islamic
Spain
to
North Africa
following the
Christian
Reconquest
of Spain and subsequent
expulsion
of
Sephardic Jews
and
Muslims
. In Algeria, the form originally found a home in the cities of
Constantine
and
Tlemcen
, with
Algiers
later becoming an influential center as well.
