Levantine music

Levantine music originates from the Levant region—comprising countries like Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Jordan—and features traditional melodies that blend Arab, Turkish, and Mediterranean influences. It often includes poetic lyrics sung with expressive vocal styles, accompanied by instruments such as the oud, darbuka, and qanun. The music ranges from lively folk dances to soulful classical pieces, reflecting the area's rich history and diverse cultures. Modern Levantine music also incorporates contemporary genres, maintaining its melodic storytelling tradition while resonating with today’s audiences.
