This web site is associated with Multi Media Publishing , an educational and multi-lingual establishment.  We have tried to expand on the art of Arabic Music by including the various musical styles and genres of the various countries of the Arab World (in the Middle East and North Africa).  In the old days (the first half of the 20th century), most of the well known composers, singers and performers were mainly from Egypt, Syria or Lebanon.  However, in the second half of the 20th century, a vast number of very talented performers and singers, from all around the Arab World, were gaining notoriety and their music became very popular through out.  Khaleej and Yemeni Music, Jordanian and Iraqi Music, Tunis and Morocco Music became, all favorites, thanks to the modern communication media (Radio, TV and Satellite Broadcasting).
