Word 120 – Môsîqâ موسيقى

Môsîqâ موسيقى is music in Moroccan Arabic and in Modern Standard Arabic. The word music itself comes from the Greek word mousikê, which sounds a lot like môsîqâ
The slang way of saying môsîqâ is lmmâsq
لماسق. This can even be conjugated, and the verb is tmôsq تموسق, to listen to music.

Animusic will change the way you ’see’ music. Here are some of my favourites:

Animusic – Pipe Dream 2

Animusic – Pogo Sticks

Animusic – Resonant Chamber

Animusic – Aqua Harp

Animusic – Acoustic Curves

I’ll let you discover the rest, there are plenty of them.

Je t’en prie. Et ce n’est pas grave pour “sat”, par contre il faut donc dire “t-hallay”, pour le féminin ;) .
Enjoy the music.

I personally say “lmouasq” not “lmasq”.
