Oman 2018 Traditional Omani Music with Augmented Reality Stamps
Issue date 6 March2019
Oman Post has issued a special miniature sheet of 4 stamps on the theme Traditional Music and Performing Arts. The stamps feature four performing arts.
The first is Al Azi, a traditional Omani music performed in various styles all over the Sultanate, and accompanied by dancing and recitation of poetry.
The second, Al Rawah, a drummers-based performance originating from Musandam, usually performed by men and women during weddings. The most unique characteristic about this dance is its name, which changes according to the time it is performed. It is called ‘Serh’ in the morning, ‘Sudar’ during mid-day, ‘Rwah’ in the afternoon, and mostly known for its evening time name of ‘Siri’.
The third stamp highlights the Barghoum, a blowing instrument, made from the horns of wild goats or Oryx, which gives no more than two musical tones.
The fourth and final stamp showcases two rhythmic musical instruments, the Kasir, known for its technical aesthetic role in performing basic rhythmical beats, and the Rahmani, which provides a deep pitch in all different patterns of traditional Omani music.
The videos can be seen using the OMAN Stamps App from the App Store of your mobile phone (Sadly as of today date it did not work on my iphone else I would have posted a video demo of the same that it works as described)
