Literature, Poetry, Music And Dance
The UAE's poetry scene is centered on a variety of themes and subjects, such as satire, religion, love, family, self-praise, chivalry, patriotism, and many other things. Since ancient times, the poems written in the United Arab Emirates have had a significant impact on the culture of the Arab nation.
A significant portion of the poetry's style was influenced by a scholar from the eighth century by the name of Al Khalil bin Ahmed. However, the 20th century witnessed the advent of forms like prose, which is a western style, just like it did with every other part of culture. Mubarak Al Oqaili, Ahmed bin Sulayem, Salem bin Ali al Owais, Sheikh Saqr Al Qasimi, Sultan bin Ali al Owais, and a few more are among the best poets in UAE history.
The Arab khaleeji tradition is practiced in the UAE. These people specialize in a Yowla-style of music, with dances mostly influenced by the Bantu people of Africa's Great Lakes region. Social occasions like weddings and celebrations frequently include songs and dances. While men conduct dances simulating historical wars, girls typically dance by swinging their hips and hair.
All of these dances are often passed down from one generation to the next through oral tradition. Other genres of music have developed in the modern day as a result of the current generation fusing the past and present. Elton John, Celine Dion, Zayn Malik, and other foreign performers have found favor with the local audience.
