This stamp celebrates malouf, scholarly and traditional music deeply rooted in Tunisian cultural history. The illustration features a musician playing an emblematic instrument, highlighting the artistic, spiritual and collective dimension of this music from an Arab-Andalusian heritage. The posture and movement suggest oral transmission, controlled improvisation and the link between music and identity. In the Tunisian context, this stamp affirms the malouf as an essential marker of intangible heritage, a symbol of cultural continuity and artistic wealth, while recalling the role of music in social cohesion and the celebration of historical memory.
