Fijiri
Fijiri (Arabic: الفجيري; sometimes spelled fijri, fidjeri, or fjiri) is the specific repertoire of vocal music sung by the pearl divers of Eastern Arabia's coastal Gulf states, especially Bahrain and Kuwait. A lead singer is backed up by a chorus of accompanying singers and clapping. The accompanying instruments to a fidjeri ensemble are a small double-sided hand-drum, known as the mirwās (المرواس) and the jāhlah (الجاهلة), a clay pot played with both hands.
There are eight genres of fijiri: sanginni (sung on the beach, not on the boat), bahri, adsani, mkholfi, haddadi, hasawi, zumayya, and dan; the last two are viewed as subgenres of hasawi and mkholfi respectively. Bahri and adsani are the two main genres.[citation needed] Pearl diver singers are referred to in Arabic as nahham (نهام). Salem Allan and Ahmad Butabbaniya are two of the most well-known fijiri singers from Bahrain.
