Session Details

The session about the book "Popular Songs for Children and Women in the UAE" discusses folk songs as an integral part of Emirati folk heritage, as well as the values, lifestyles, and social relations they reflect, which existed prior to the discovery of oil in the country.

Choosing the subject of folk songs strengthens efforts to collect folk songs, especially in Abu Dhabi, as it is an essential step that contributes to a better understanding of the Emirates' folk songs, particularly child caressing songs and songs about names, especially girls' names.
