Oriental music encompasses traditional and contemporary sounds from Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean regions, characterized by microtonal scales, modal melodies, and distinctive instruments like the oud, ney, and qanun. The tag bridges classical Arabic music traditions with modern interpretations, featuring ornate vocal techniques, complex rhythms, and atmospheric textures that evoke cultural heritage. This style emphasizes improvisation, emotional expression, and melodic ornamentation rooted in centuries-old musical traditions.
