Middle Eastern music has roots that stretch back thousands of years, emerging from the vibrant cultural tapestry of the region and often linked to ceremonial occasions or storytelling. Characterised by distinctive modes, intricate rhythms, and the use of instruments like the oud and qanun, it can sound both evocative and like an elaborate game of musical hopscotch. Unsurprisingly, this genre has influenced countless others, proving that a good melody can travel further than any aspiring diplomat.
