Islamic Music

Well, just consider that when you're holding a guitar, you're basically holding an arab instrument.

Middle-eastern music comes in one variety: mischievious.

Well, since the Rababa is the mother of music instruments and the oud is guitars origin. And the Arabs are the best at poetry because arabic is very rich. So the Islamic golden age gave alot to music calture that inspired the french and italian music. Look up 'Lama bada yatathana' for example. And listen to Um Kaltom and Sabah Fakhri, Firouz, Abdul Haleem, Wade Safi, and many more. That will give you an idea

not only did guitars come from the oud, the english word lute literally comes from oud (العود, or al-'ud)

Sunnis don't like fun and have banned instruments, so all that is allowed is Nasheeds, which is singing, and drums.

Of course this is a modern idea, Muslims invented guitars, there's nothing in the scripture against Music, and the voice is surely an instrument? Likewise the majority of the Islamic world listens to modern music too.

If you're looking for "Islamic music", I think you'd be interested in the art of Qawali. It's a form of spiritual devotion to Allah, and practiced mainly by the Sufi sect of Islam. When Islam spread to the Indian subcontinent, poets and musicians started to incorporate traditional Hindu styles of devotion through music but instead of devoting their songs to Krishna or Vishnu, it was now Allah and Muhammad. The Indian/Pakistani form of Qawwali we see today is very similar to how the early qawwals would have practiced, Amir Khusrow being the unofficial founder of such practice.

>Islamic music
By that you mean Music with Islamic meaning or simply music made by Muslims?

>>1469320
I'm guessing the former. A Muslim could make a rock song if he wanted to and you wouldn't classify that as Islamic music

Nice carpathian music

>>1469268
bretty cool

>>1469320
Specifically Islamic music. Christians have choirs and hymns, what do Muslims have?

I think there is something innate about musical preference. When I listen to Eastern Orthodox music, even though I cant understand the words it doesn't feel 'foreign' to me whereas the Islamic music feels alien in some way. 'Christian' music is not limited to medieval/renaissance vocal music either, Beethoven and the entire Western Art Music Canon is still Christian music.

I'm an American but grew up in the UAE. It really depended on the muezzin of the mosque, luckily the ones next to my apartment had good voices.

In Abu Dhabi there was a mosque next to a catholic church and it wasn't coordinated but sometimes the prayer call and the bells where done in rhythm almost.

Similar to this;

There is such a deeply rooted musical traditon in Islam that I dont know where to start, even with the Fun Nazis (sunnis) banning instruments in religious music. Seriously though, i recommend listening to all the songs that i cared enough to compile her if youre interested in this musical tradition.

Şem-i Ruhuna Cismimi Pervane düşürdüm, a Turkish Sufi song. The title means "My body is a moth drawn to the flame of your spirit"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XaylJceP1Kc

Tekbir (allahu akbar la ilaha ilallah) and then a devotional piece (Allahumme salli ala seyyidina muhammadini nebiyyil ummiyi we ala alihi ve sahbihi ve selim)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7tf4_DgDXVw

Samai bayati, a composition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSphxO-DJmA

This ones not religious but its over a millenium old, and its pretty popular to have survived that long, the title, Fug An Nakhil, means "above the palm trees"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=901c62M13eA

This one is about as old and even more popular, an anon mentioned it in this thread, Lama Bada Yatathana, and there are endless versions of it:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BCGzi9Wz8U0

...but this ones my favorite version
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DoBcG-fSgDo

And there's some other good ones, like the Ottoman composer Dmitri Cantemir, that Turkish folk song Üsküdara Gideriken, Sheikh Hamza Shakkur, Gar Kunam Sahibe Man (an Afghan song), but i honestly am too lazy to put those here.

Some nice music from Cairo to tie it off:
