MA Textual
Back to MofA Week 1
Although there are some purely instrumental pieces, in general the text seems to be very important to music from the Arabic world. I remember reading/hearing that one of the elements that made Umm Kulthoum's music so good was her enunciation and clarity of speach.

The example "Habaanko" changed my idea about vocals here. It is very different from Umm Kulthoum, for example.
