[edit] Jewish music

Why all the focus on jews in this article ?????????

There's about 2.5 paragraphs on Jewish music, out of 12 total. The reason why is because I found a source on Jewish Iraqi music. Tuf-Kat 15:19, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Jew's played an important role in Iraq's history, especially in music, so why not mention it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annabananahana (talkcontribs) 12:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with that, Iraqi music owes much to the Jewish people. It is a shame the Jews left Iraq. they made iraqi music the great music that it is

[edit] Sadun Jaber

Someone needs to add something about sadun jaber, he has so many classic iraqi songs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 7hameed7 (talkcontribs) 02:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chalghi Baghdadi

There should be something for this too —Preceding unsigned comment added by 7hameed7 (talkcontribs) 02:39, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kadhim Al-Saher's (KS) banned song?

This is not true. I lived in Iraq during that period and KS songs were all very popular. DJs were discouraged from his songs by the government because he gradually spent more and more time abroad rather than in Iraq. He finally settled in Egypt. People could quite readily buy his songs and taped even after that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.104.51.231 (talk) 06:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Maqam

People should read up on the maqam topic before they start entering wreckless edits on this page. These are the middle eastern musical modes. Further, it was careless to enter "Maqam" when referring to textual art. "Maqama" is the proper term for this usage. Dogru144 01:03, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
