Abstract:

 This article examines the patrimonialization of Andalusian music as a key vector for the preservation of Moroccan Jewish memory, with a focus on the contributions of Haïm Zafrani. Rooted in medieval Al-Andalus, Andalusian music developed through cross-cultural exchanges among Muslims, Jews, and Christians, and was later transmitted to Morocco following the expulsion of Jewish communities from Spain in 1492. The study highlights the dual role of Andalusian music in Jewish Moroccan life: first, as a liturgical practice integrated into baqashot, piyutim, and other ritual ceremonies; second, as a social instrument fostering community cohesion, intergenerational transmission, and cultural recognition across religious boundaries. Drawing on historical, ethnomusicological, and anthropological sources, the article argues that contemporary patrimonialization—through festivals, recordings, and institutional preservation—functions as an anti-diasporic factor, maintaining a symbolic and mnemonic link between Moroccan Jews in the diaspora and their ancestral homeland. Andalusian music thus emerges as a living heritage that sustains identity, memory, and cultural continuity across time and space.
