Sawt (music)
Sawt ( ar, صوت / ALA-LC: ''Ṣawt''; literally "voice"; also spelled sout or sowt) is a kind of popular music found in Kuwait and Bahrain. History It is said that sawt was established in Kuwait by the poet, composer, singer and oud player Abdallah al-Faraj (1836-1901/1903). The Bahraini historian Mubārak al-‘Ammārī believes that sawt was known in Kuwait before 1766, and in Bahrain since 1783. Saleh and Daoud Al-Kuwaity were widely considered among one of its earliest pioneers. Description ''Sawt'' is a complex form of urban music, originally performed by 'ud (plucked lute) and mirwas (a drum), with a violin later supplementing the arrangement. Two men perform the dance, which is called “Zaffan”. ''Al-Sout'' is performed only at night gatherings of men. It is called “Samra” (nightly chat).
