 The matrux is a unique form of Moroccan-Jewish music, fusing Hebrew and Arabic texts. The music and lyrics are derived from Andalusian traditions of music and poetry, reflecting the centuries-old link between Jewish and Muslim societies. While the singer might address secular topics in Arabic, Hebrew is reserved for sacred matters. This film features a live performance by Rabbi Haim Louk and Abdelsadek Chekara and interviews with performers and scholars. Also directed by Izza Genini: Songs for a Shabbat.
