Wikipedia articles on Arab music

Note: Wikipedia articles are not always reliable. They are frequently sketchy, misleading, and outright wrong, and should never be cited as references in scholarly work. They must always be read critically and even doubtfully. Nevertheless, Wikipedia information is not only copious - it is also very useful, especially for providing overviews, references for further reading, and up-to-date articles on popular culture.

As a class project, let's enter as many wikipedia articles as possible into the following template. Note missing articles for your own reference as possible final projects.

If you find important Arab music links outside Wikipedia, please don't enter them here. Instead, place them in Arab music URLs

Israel

While not an Arab country per se, the Israeli population includes native Arabic-speakers of multiple faiths (Muslim, Christian, and Jewish), including Palestinians holding Israeli citizenship.

Mizrahi Jews are those originating in the Middle East, including Arabic-speaking regions; polemics and politics aside, the latter are Arab Jews.

Sephardi Jews are those originating in the Iberian Peninsula, including descedents of those expelled from Andalusia by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492.
