Arabic Music
Arabic music is a term used to describe the music of Arabic-speaking people or Arab countries. It also describe several genres and styles of music ranging from Arab classical to Arabic pop music and from secular to sacred music.
Arabic music has been interacting with many other regional music. It influenced and has been influenced by others like ancient Greek music, Persian music , Turkish music , Indian music, African music, Berber music, (i.e. Berber & Swahili) and European music (i.e. Flamenco). As in other art and science fields, the Arabs translated and developed Greek texts and works of music and mastered the music theory of the Greeks (i.e. Systema ametabolon, enharmonium, chromatikon, diatonon).[1] One can also find the word Shî'ir (poetry in Arabic) used in many Semitic and other languages like Shûr in Aramaic, Shîr in Hebrew and Shîro in Babylonian to understand such inter-influences.[2]
Peter van der Merwe explains that, "The common style that developed is usually called 'Islamic' or 'Arab', though in fact it transcends religious, ethnic, geographical, and linguistic boundaries," and it has been suggested that it be called the "Near East style" (from Morocco to India).
