Khaleeji
Khaleeji music represents the Gulf region’s unique sound, originating from countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE. Known for its heavy percussion, soulful oud melodies, and poetic lyrics, Khaleeji music is deeply tied to Gulf culture. Iconic artists like Hussain Al Jassmi, Balqees (originally from Yemen), and Rashed Al-Majed have brought this genre to the forefront of Arabic music. Khaleeji songs are staples at weddings and cultural gatherings, blending traditional styles with modern elements that resonate with younger audiences.
