This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.227.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:53, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Abdessadeq Cheqara''' (31 juillet 1931 – 31 October 1998) (in Arabic: '''عبد الصادق شقارة''') was a Moroccan singer of traditional [[Andalusian classical music]] and [[Music of Morocco|Moroccan folk music]]. Known as the ''grand master of al-Ala (Andalusian music)'', he was also a violin and [[oud]] [[virtuoso]].

His first name is also written Abd el Saddeq, Abdessadek, Abdesaddek, and many other variations. His surname is variously spelt Chekara, Cheqara, Chqara, Sheqara, Shekara, Shkara, and variations thereof.

== Life ==
Abdessadeq Cheqara was born in [[Tetuan]], Morocco. His father, Abdessalam Cheqara, was a singer and musician in Tetuan, while his mother, Assoudia Alharrak, was descended of a family of poets, musicians and philosophers.

From a young age, Cheqara was drawn to music and poetry, being influenced by his father, who gave him his first [[oud]].

Cheqara sang Andalusian and traditional Moroccan folksongs in ''[[mawawil]]'' (improvised solo), ''[[inshad]]'' (solo) styles.

Cheqara did much to popularize Andalusian music. Prior to the advent of [[Abdessadeq]], Andalusian music was largely elite music for Andalusians alone.

Much of the Andalusian popular songs or [[Cha'abi]] (Sha'abi) are believed to have been appropriated from female Andalusian musicians of Tetuan such as [[Hajja Shili]] and [[Hajja Shahaba]]. Because of [[sexism]], they were not permitted to record or perform if any males were present and are henceforth not well known. Reportedly Abdessadeq Chekara used to sit with Hajja Cha'haba and Hajja Shili and learn the women's songs, only to go on to record them. Many of the popular Andalusian songs (such as [[Ben't Bladi]]) are written from a women's perspective.<ref>See Alison Bakers book of interviews of Tetuani women's contributions (Baker 1998) in addition to the thesis on Andalusian women'musicians entitled "Women's Andalusian Ensembles of Tetuan, Morocco" (University of California, Santa Barbara: Ethnomusicology) (Banzi 2002) [http://proquest.com/products_umi/dissertations/ and http://www.Andalus.com]</ref>

Abdessadeq died on 31 October 1998, after a prolonged illness.

== Legacy ==
His work in preserving and developing the Andalusian legacy continues with fellow Tetuani, Tarik Banzi of [[Al andalus ensemble]], or [[Radio Tarifa]].

== Records and events ==
Other notable achievements include:

* In 1961, Cheqara recorded eight ''[[Andalusi nubah|nawbas]]'' of Andalusian Music in association with [[UNESCO]]'s ''Andalusian Music Fans Association'' – an initiative to preserve the Andalusian heritage of Morocco.
* In 1978, Cheqara was appointed Supervisor General of the National Conservatory.
* In 1982, Cheqara met Professor Jose Heredia in [[Granada]], Spain, and collaborated to produce one of his most famous songs, ''Bent Bladi'', a combination of Tétouani music and [[flamenco]].
* In 1991, Cheqara collaborated with British-Jewish pianist [[Michael Nyman]], releasing a CD titled "''The Upside-Down Violin''" (1992). The CD was recorded live at the 1992 [[World's Fair]] in [[Seville]].
