Visitors at the book fair enjoyed the vibrant rhythm of Emirati songs as the band, clad in traditional Emirati outfits, wowed the audience with music played on occasion as well as songs that were once used to welcome fishermen, pearl divers, and travellers from across the country. The band’s music represented the local culture from the desert and coastal areas to the mountainous regions of the emirate.
Visitors at the fair joined the Sharjah National Band as they performed the Al Ayyala, Al Noban, Al Liwa, and Al Habban to the accompaniment of drums.
