Kuwaiti music is renowned for the diversity of its forms and rhythms, reflecting the richness of the society from which it emerged. As we have often celebrated the art of Sout in its many variations, this Cultural Season will present the concert “Samri and Qadri with Tareq Al-Khurayef”, to be held at Sheikh Jaber Al-Ali Concert Hall on 29 October, showcasing two of Kuwait’s most cherished folk genres.
The concert’s programme includes some of the most famous songs of Samri, a Bedouin musical form named after the nightly gatherings (samrat) from which it takes its name. Samri encompasses several variations, including Najdi Samri, Hawti Samri, Fajri Samri, and Qarwi Samri. Qadri, by contrast, is a rhythm of devotional Sufi character that originated centuries ago as a percussive accompaniment to religious poetry and Sufi chants. Both genres are performed with a modest dance, in which the head and shoulders gently sway in harmony with the rhythm.
