More Info
The Jawfiya song is a main pillar of Hourani music, especially in the governorates of Daraa and Sweida. It originates from an epic poem documenting a battle that took place in the Al Jouf region of Saudi Arabia, which was passed down by Bedouins until it reached the Houran region in Syria, where it transformed into a lyrical poem performed at social occasions and weddings.
