Qaṣīda ghināʾiyya (“Sung Poem”)
12017-10-10T20:51:58+00:00Stanford University Pressaf84c3e11fe030c51c61bbd190fa82a3a1a1282418genre pageplain2018-05-15T21:41:59+00:00Samuel Liebhaber92edd610c0d14d00181bd949250cbe90dae08f10The qaṣīda ghināʾiyya is a fairly recent phenomenon and largely imitative of cosmopolitan Yemeni sung poetry. Unlike the other genres contained in this collection, the qaṣīdaghināʾiyya would not be recognized as a genre as such by most Mahri speakers. Rather, it is only recognized by the cultural elite of al-Mahra, particularly its younger, more outward-looking poets.
For a detailed analysis of this genre of Mahri poetry, see Liebhaber, 2011b.
