Ghazi tells Enas about his own family history of pearl diving and the intrigue it sparked in him. The rich cultural practice was also an arduous one, marked by long perilous journeys and hardship. Music was an important component to boost morale and help the divers prepare for their working day. Boom.Diwan revives these rhythms in a Khaleeji jazz-fusion style that Ghazi describes as experimental.

He talks about how elders react to his music and the importance of preserving the authenticity of pearl-diving heritage, while also performing for new and diverse audiences. Boom.Diwan’s cross-cultural collaborations have also uncovered shared histories and sounds that span continents. Their coming performance at The Red Theatre at NYU Abu Dhabi on January 14 will feature a number of international guests including South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini. ]]></video:description><video:publication_date>2026-01-08T02:00:00+00:00</video:publication_date></video:video></url><url><loc>https://www.thenationalnews.com/video/XAR984TW/manus-on-markets-oil-influence-and-trumps-venezuela-pivot/</loc><video:video><video:content_loc>https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/XAR984TW-xv27PA1r.mp4</video:content_loc><video:duration>105</video:duration><video:thumbnail_loc>https://www.thenationalnews.com/resizer/v2/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.jwplayer.com%2Fv2%2Fmedia%2FXAR984TW%2Fposter.jpg%3Fwidth%3D480%26thumbnail_version%3D1?auth=a32d92267d1ea7a1cc917593bf00b17afecf3cf4898b068bec8a29adffe9850b&amp;smart=true&amp;width=480</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title><![CDATA[Manus on Markets: Oil, influence and Trump’s Venezuela pivot]]></video:title><video:description><![CDATA[Donald Trump claims tens of millions of barrels of Venezuelan oil could flow to the US under a tightly controlled deal ]]></video:description><video:publication_date>2026-01-07T08:16:19+00:00</video:publication_date></video:video></url></urlset>
