Oriental

Oriental music is a broad genre that blends traditional Middle Eastern, North African, and Anatolian sounds with modern influences. Characterized by rich melodies, expressive vocals, and distinctive instruments like the oud, ney, zurna, and darbuka, it evokes deep emotion and cultural heritage. The genre varies from melancholic ballads to energetic folk dances, often featuring intricate ornamentation and microtonal scales. Artists in this style create immersive atmospheres, blending classical and folk traditions with contemporary arrangements, maintaining a profound connection to the musical roots of their respective regions.
