Chaabi (Template:Langx[1]) refers to several types of popular music of Morocco, combining rural and urban folk music.[2][3]

The genre started out as street music performed in squares and souks, and can be heard in cafés, at restaurants and at weddings.[2]

Chaabi is commonly associated with the culture of the aroubi, which is a pejorative term to describe people of Arab descent as well as meaning peasant and uneducated, as apposed to the Fassi (Template:Literally, but also including anyone who adopts an elitist culture) who prefer Andalusian music and the malhun.[4][5]

Rural varieties include Jerra and al-Aïta (lit. "the cry"[6]).

Several artists performing this genre are known, such as Hajib, Abdelaziz Stati, Najat Aatabou, Saïd Senhaji and Khalid Bennani.
