Summary

The Medina of Fez serves as a dynamic cultural and religious hub where the interplay between music, rhythm, and Sufi mysticism shapes its artistic landscape. This study reveals how aḍriḥa (narrow streets) and zawāyā (Sufi lodges or brotherhoods) have redefined the city's geographical structure, creating spaces that host diverse festivals and cultural events. The status of music, its performers, and instruments varies significantly depending on context—whether religious, intellectual, or artistic—demonstrating their adaptability within this multifaceted environment. The research highlights Fez as a living testament to the fusion of mysticism, spirituality, and artistic expression, where great spiritual figures have left an enduring legacy.
