Music of nomadic Bedouin Arab tribes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bedouin music (Arabic: الموسيقى البدوية) is the music of nomadic Bedouin Arab tribes in the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, Mesopotamia and the Levant.[1] It is closely linked to its text and poems. Songs are based on poetry and are sung either unaccompanied, or to the stringed instrument, the rebab.[1] Traditional instruments are the rebab and various woodwinds.[2] Examples of Bedouin music are the Samri of Saudi Arabia,[3] Aita of Morocco, and the internationally recognised Rai of Algeria.[4]
