Tarab is a new weekly music podcast hosted by The National’s Saeed Saeed that takes you inside the Middle East’s music scene.
The first season brings you conversations with some of the region’s most captivating voices, from genre-defying performers to industry visionaries.
You’ll hear from artists reshaping Gulf hip-hop, reinventing Arab music, using the piano as a call for peace and bringing jazz, folk and R&B to audiences in the region, all while elevating Arab music on the global stage.
The series takes its name from an Arabic word that carries two meanings: a state of enchantment induced by music; and a broad genre of Arabic music.
A new episode drops every Tuesday across all podcast platforms.
