Eastern
Middle Eastern music refers to different various music styles that span across the Middle East. The various nations of the region include the Arabic-speaking countries of the Middle East, the Iranian traditions of Persia, the Jewish music of Israel and the diaspora, Armenian music, the varied traditions of Cypriot music, the music of Turkey, traditional Assyrian music, Coptic ritual music in Egypt, and the Andalusian (Muslim Spain) music very much alive in the greater Middle East (North Africa), all maintain their own traditions. It is widely regarded that some Middle-Eastern musical styles have influenced Central Asia, as well as Spain, and the Balkans. Throughout the region, religion has been a common factor in uniting peoples of different languages, cultures and nations. The predominance of Islam allowed a great deal of Arabic, and Byzantine influence to spread through the region rapidly from the 7th century onward. The Arabic scale is strongly melodic, based on various maqamat (sing. maqam) or modes (also known as makam in Turkish music). The early Arabs translated and developed Greek texts and works of music and mastered the musical theory of the music of ancient Greece (i.e. Systema ametabolon, enharmonium, chromatikon, diatonon).[1] This is similar to the dastgah of Persian music. While this originates with classical music, the modal system has filtered down into folk, liturgical and even popular music, with influence from the West. Unlike much western music, Arabic music includes quarter tones halfway between notes, often through the use of stringed instruments (like the oud) or the human voice. Further distinguishing characteristics of Middle Eastern and North African music include very complex rhythmic structures, generally tense vocal tone, and a monophonic texture. Traditional Middle Eastern music does not use chords, or harmony in the Western sense.

Wiki of Port Minab After a few days, you reach the town of 'Harmosia' better known as Minab. You are exhausted like all the other traders of the caravan. It is busy in the city as there is a bazaar called the Panjshambe bazaar. Here they sell prawns, fish, date palms and mangoes. It is a beautiful city! The caravan says to take a boat to the island of Qeshm in two days, as a stopover to the land of pearls. We put our things at the city inn. The city inn had a nice view of Minab's harbour. In Minab, there is a large castle, which is heavily guarded; what a building that is! I am going to rest because in two days we are going to travel to the island of Qeshm. In the evening, I dream of the land of pearls. What an adventure! Wikipedia of Minab Minab (Persian: ميناب‎, also Romanized as Mīnāb) is a city and capital of Minab County, Hormozgan Province, Iran. Minab is not far from Bandar Abbas. It is famous for fishing (especially shrimps) and for agriculture (especially date palms and mangoes). It lies on the main official road connecting Bandar Abbas, the Makran and the Baluchistan Province. The population are mainly Shi'a Muslims, but a Sunni minority does exist, and the language they speak is Minabi (locally Minow), a dialect which is something between Bandari, Balochi and Persian. Once a week, a well-known bazaar called "Panjshambe bazar" or in Minabi language "Peyshambe Bazar" (English: Thursday's Bazaar) attracts people from all over Hormozgan, and beyond. In ancient times Minab had the name of Harmosia (or Harmozeia). --------------------------------------------------------------------- 📧 Contact us: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ✔️ Soundcloud; https://soundcloud.com/jvrrams -------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you stay in Port Minab or travel on to Qeshm Island? ....
