What is arap music?

Arab music refers to the music of the Arab world, including the Arab Peninsula, North Africa, and the Levant. It has a rich history spanning over a thousand years, with influences from various cultures such as Persian, Turkish, and Indian.

Some of the key features of Arab music include the use of quarter-tones and complex rhythms, the combination of vocal and instrumental elements, and the use of improvisation. Traditional Arab music is often performed by a small ensemble of musicians, including the oud (a type of lute), the qanun (a type of zither), and various percussion instruments.

Arab music has also evolved in recent years to include more modern styles such as pop, hip hop, and electronic music, while still maintaining its traditional roots. Some famous Arab musicians include Umm Kulthum, Fairuz, and Amr Diab.
