The Sultanate of Oman's musical tradition is an integral part of its social, political, economic, geographical and religious history. Eloquent testimony to this is borne out by the thousands of anthologies of verse which form the text of Omani folk songs and which present a living history of events that have social lessons for the present and the future, as well as the past. Traditional poetry embodies all these qualities.
La música tradicional también tiene un gran peso en la cultura de Arabia Saudí, un país que ha sentido sobre todo en los últimos tiempos la urgente necesidad de reivindicar sus raíces frente a un mundo occidental cada vez más pujante, que amenaza con poner en peligro tan valiosa herencia.
