A Cultural and Historical Legacy
​
Many instruments used around the world today trace their lineage directly to Arabian music traditions, particularly during the Golden Age of Islamic civilization (8th–11th centuries).
The 11th century saw a surge in influence as Moorish Spain became a hub for manufacturing and distributing these instruments, gradually spreading them throughout Europe and beyond.
​
Arabian music not only shaped the West’s musical development but also fostered political and intellectual exchange between cultures.
In the 9th century, Arabian music already possessed a vast repertoire, a documented musical history, and masterful musicians who inspired entire societies.
Even after the destruction of Baghdad in 1258 rapidly slowed its expansion, its influence remained embedded in the evolution of global music.​​​​​​
​
“Since the dawn of humanity, music has given voice to our spiritual evolution and shaped the identity of the human race.
It is our most profound intellectual instrument to unite and
to keep the world together."
Edin Dino Zonic​​​
