알제리 근대 음악장르의 형성

초록

In the early 20th century, Algeria experienced major changes, including rapid westernization and urbanization, the development of music media and the emergence of the recording industry, and the emergence of a modern audience. The changes in the overall music environment and the context of the colonial situation worked together to form a modern music genre. Music was not only used nationally, but also enjoyed individually and in small communities. This study examines the formation of modern music genres in Algeria by reconstructing the soundscape of the Early 20th Century and reviewing the influence of radio broadcasts and France’s cultural policies on Algerian music genres. The process was not one of French exclusion and Algerian resistance, but of integration. Radio and recording media not only served as a means of one-sided dissemination of colonial policy, but also contributed to the preservation and spread of Algerian traditional music and supported modern listening and modern musical activities. This study also explores attempts by traditional highbrow music to clearly distinguish itself from popular genre chaâbi and the complicity of the colonial powers in this endeavor. The activities of the Andalusian Music Association should be understood not as the creation of national consciousness but rather as integration into European civil society. Jews played a significant role as transmitters of traditional Algerian music, but they were criticized as culprits for the distortion and decline of Algerian music due to the flexibility of the repertoire and the creative activities involving literary themes. French chanson and Levant music were also crucial in shaping Algerian music genres. Radio broadcasts, while consistent in implementing French colonial policies, contributed to the preservation and development of regional cultures, including traditional Algerian music, due to their adaptability in different situations. The Andalusian music has established itself as a modern genre by continuing its vitality through flexibility, contact, and hybridization, rather than strengthening tradition through the conservation movement. It resulted from the complex dynamics among various actors, including Muslim musicians, colonial administrators executing France’s evolving colonial policies, Jewish musicians, and European intellectuals.
