Arabic Culture

In Quarter 2, I learned Arabic music. The development of Arabic music has extremely deep roots in Arabic poetry dating back to the pre-Islamic period. Arabic maqam is the system of melodic modes used in traditional Arabic music, which is mainly melodic.

In the 20th century, Egypt was the first in a series of Arab countries to experience a sudden emergence of nationalism, as it became independent after 2000 years of foreign rule. Turkish music, popular during the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the region, was replaced by national music. Cairo became a center for musical innovation.

Much Arabic music is characterized by an emphasis on melody and rhythm, as opposed to harmony. There are some genres of Arabic music that are polyphonic, but typically, Arabic music is homophonic.

Different Kinds of Arabic Music: Arabic R&B, reggae, and hip hop; Arabic Electronica, Arabic Jazz, Arabic Rock.

And I also know different region have different kind of music.
