In a rapidly modernizing society, weddings are also occasions for Omanis to keep their distinctive regional arts alive. This recording features a diverse assortment of performances by organized groups, which combine singing, poetry, dancing, and instruments including cymbals, drums, a conch trumpet called jim, and the oboe-like mizmar.Recorded in 1990, this previously unreleased album from the UNESCO Collection of Traditional Music captures the sounds of a typical wedding of Omani Arabs in the Batinah, the northern coastal region of Oman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Azi \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Henna Songs for the Bride \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Ghina Nisa \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Lewah \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Badawiyah \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Ghina Nisa \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Qurbah \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Ritual Hair Cutting \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Zaffat Al-Mu Aris\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32463379365959,"sku":"27730881","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2836455.jpg?v=1747394518","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-oman-arabian-weddings","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
