Matrouz (music)

Matrouz (Arabic: مطروز) is a Judeo-Arabic musical practice with origins traced to Andalusia.[1] It was often practiced by Jewish Andalusians, mixing verses in Hebrew and Arabic.[2] Matrouz represents an artistic connection between different cultures, taking inspiration from the overlap of Jewish, Muslim and Christian culture in Andalusia.[3][4]

Matrouz is an Arabic word that means "embroidered",[5] referencing the insertion of Arabic stanzas into Hebrew poetry.[2]
