Middle Eastern

Middle Eastern music is a rich and diverse genre that blends traditional and modern elements from Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Hebrew, and North African musical traditions. Characterized by intricate melodies, microtonal scales (maqamat), and rhythmic patterns (iqa’at), it often features instruments like the oud, qanun, ney, and darbuka. Vocals range from melancholic and soulful to energetic and celebratory, sometimes incorporating poetic lyrics or religious themes. Contemporary artists fuse these traditions with reggae, electronic, or pop influences, creating a dynamic sound that bridges the past and present while maintaining deep cultural roots.
