If twentieth-century stories of Jews and Muslims in North Africa are usually told separately, Recording History demonstrates that we have not been listening to what brought these communities together: Arab music. For decades, thousands of phonograph records flowed across North African borders. The sounds embedded in their grooves were shaped in large part by Jewish musicians, who gave voice to a changing world around them. Their popular songs broadcast on radio, performed in concert, and circulated on disc carried with them the power to delight audiences, stir national sentiments, and frustrate French colonial authorities. With this book, Christopher Silver provides the first history of the music scene and recording industry across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and offers striking insights into Jewish-Muslim relations through the rhythms that animated them. He traces the path of hit-makers and their hit records, illuminating regional and transnational connections. In asking what North Africa once sounded like, Silver recovers a world of many voices?of pioneering impresarios, daring female stars, cantors turned composers, witnesses and survivors of war, and national and nationalist icons?whose music still resonates well into our present. 606 $aArabs$zAfrica, North$xMusic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews$zAfrica, North$xMusic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPopular music$zAfrica, North$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSound recording industry$zAfrica, North$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHISTORY / Africa / North$2bisacsh 607 $aAfrica, North$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aAlgeria. 610 $aJews. 610 $aMemory. 610 $aMorocco. 610 $aMusic. 610 $aMuslims. 610 $aNationalism. 610 $aPopular Culture. 610 $aRecords. 610 $aTunisia. 615 0$aArabs$xMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews$xMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPopular music$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSound recording industry$xHistory 615 7$aHISTORY / Africa / North. 676 $a781.63096 700 $aSilver$b Christopher$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01740730 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910862093603321 996 $aRecording History$94166536 997 $aUNINA
