Khaliji Events This Week in Santorini

About Khaliji

Khaliji music originates from the Arabian Peninsula, specifically the Gulf states, evolving from traditional folk traditions into a sophisticated contemporary genre. Its sound is characterized by complex, syncopated polyrhythms and the prominent use of the oud, violin, and mirwas drums, often accompanied by rhythmic hand-clapping known as tasfeeq. The tempo typically ranges from moderate to upbeat, fostering a festive and celebratory mood that bridges the gap between traditional Bedouin heritage and modern pop production. As a regional pillar, it maintains a strong semantic relationship with broader Arabic pop while preserving unique rhythmic structures like the Saudi and Adani patterns that distinguish it from Levantine or North African styles.

Also known as: Khaleeji
