chapter from The Literature of Al-Andalus, where she mentions the muwashshah as part of the repertoire of the Lebanese singer Fairouz. Extending the question to the zajal, Alex Elinson gave a paper last fall at the SCMLA in New Orleans on Driss Mesnnaoui,
a current Moroccan writer and zajal poet, though I don’t believe he performs with music.</font></span></p>
