The phenomenon "فن النهمة" is one of the most vibrant traditional performing arts associated with maritime heritage, reflecting the local emirate identity and its role in traditional marine life. There are several types of this art, including "نهمة اللير", "نهمة الخطيفة", "اليمال", songs about diving and travels.
As part of its strategy to support the vision of the "Year of Culture" in preserving and strengthening the country's cultural heritage, Mukhammad bin Rashid Library organized a unique cultural event in honor of "فن النهمة". The event gained popularity among the public and particularly among the local emirate heritage and folk arts enthusiasts, as well as among lovers of traditional music and local communities.
Participants expressed admiration for these forms of marine arts, highlighting the importance of organizing similar events to raise awareness of cultural heritage and establish connections between new generations and their national identity.
This event is part of the strategy of Mukhammad bin Rashid Library aimed at preserving and transmitting the cultural heritage of the Emirates to the next generations by enhancing awareness of the importance of traditional arts as part of national identity. It also contributes to building bridges between the past and the present, inspiring new generations to understand the depth of their history and the richness of their culture to ensure the continuity of this living heritage.
