Thanks for sharing this link, I heard that it was going to be on NPR yesterday but wasn't able to listen.

Re: NPR - Chaabi: The 'People's Music' Of North Africa
Just to ward off confusion, since it's been a while since it was mentioned in a thread:
ChaabiShaabi means something vague, like 'of the people.' The music/dance we call Egyptian Shaabi (Sa'ad, Hakim, etc) is very different from the music/dance called 'Chaabi' in Morocco.
Not even related, just described by the same word because they both come 'from the people' rather than 'from the rarefied ivory towers of the classical composers' or whatever.
