Al-Damma Amid War Drums
Al-Darb Governorate and its villages preserve the folk art of *al-dammah*, which, according to local accounts, dates back around 400 years. Once used to rally fighters, it is now performed at weddings and other social occasions. Performers chant poetic verses together, accompanied by drums and the *zīr*, with vigorous movements and rhythms that demand physical stamina. Poet Ibrahim bin Ali Al-Shaabi believes that preserving the traditional performance, without sound effects, safeguards its authenticity.
