It has distinct local practices and should not be treated as a synonym for all Gulf percussion music.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/sawt-to-nagazi-seven-traditional-music-genres-from-the-arabian-gulf-1.1245899 Al Mulaifi interview — Seven traditional Gulf genres].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Contemporary and trending ==<br /> <br /> The listening collection includes identified current and worthwhile earlier performances.
