Oral Poetry 🎤

Mauritania is often called the "Nation of Poets." Oral poetry is not only entertainment but also a form of social commentary. The most respected poets often memorize hundreds of verses, passed down through generations.



Music: The Soul of the Desert 🎶

Traditional Mauritanian music blends Moorish, Arab, and African elements. The tidinit (a stringed instrument) and ardin (a harp played by women) are key. Music tells stories of love, loss, and legacy.
