Moorish traditional music is a genre that originates from the West African region of Mauritania. It is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the ardine, tidinit, and tbal, and its unique vocal style that often features call-and-response patterns. The music is deeply rooted in the country's cultural heritage and is often performed at weddings, religious ceremonies, and other important events. The genre has gained international recognition in recent years, with its fusion with contemporary styles and the emergence of new artists who are pushing the boundaries of the genre.
