"I think that it's about time to make an anthology of Gharnati music that will include all the "Nubas", otherwize, we wil lose this part of our patrimony for ever. The "Ala"schools of Morocco, namely:Fes, Tetouan, Rabat and Tangier in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture&the French Arab Institute have recorded all of the 11 "Nubas". Tlemcen (Algeria) is the mother school for Gharnati style and we see no effort done to preserve this treasure. I say it's time to put hand in hand with the gharnati artists of Oujda,Tetouan and Rabat, where this art is flourishing to collect the gharnati nubas.Thank you, Mohammed Salah"
