Maqamat Maghribi
Hello again, friends.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers/names/notes of maqams with Moroccan origins or influences.
Just some background: my wife lived in Morocco for awhile with a post-nomadic Amazighi settlement, and I did my thesis on a now-abandoned Moroccan
city on the edge of the Sahara (Sijimassa, near Rissani) and the Amazigh dynasties. Here's the link if you happened to be interested 
https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B_Dyhug36HgZYTlkYjlkNGMtNDI0OC0...
I already appreciate the deep heritage of the area, so I was wondering what role the oud had in medieval Morocco and Andalusian society.

Do you have access to d'Erlanger's 6 volume "La Musique Arabe"?
Do you read French? There are some mediocre scans of volumes I-III and most of Volume V. The full set is hard to find on paper as some volumes are
again out of print (especially volume 5, which details the Maqamat), and costs several hundred Euros. For most purposes the PDF scans (that float
among forum members) are adequate. Each Maqam in volume 5 is detailed as below.
As to to what maqam originated where, that's a snarl! But between d"erlanger and Marcus' "Arab music theory in the modern period" (phD Thesis 1989
u.Mich also floats here as a scan) you can fry your brain but good.

I'm going to see if I can get it from my library's periodical catalog. Thanks for the scans - I really appreciate it.

Here's the PDF of most of volume 5, the part that lists the maqamat

Volumes 1-3 contain original treatises.
These people have a wealth of material
