When Melodies Gather: Oral Art of the Mahra

ʿAmr Sālim bir Šalmōten al-Jidḥī

ʿAmr Sālim bir Šalmōten al-Jidḥī (currently retired), worked as the manager for the Yemenia Airlines office in al-Ghaydha. ʿAmr Sālim is widely recognized in Qishn for having memorized a significant amount of Mahri poetry. However, he was experiencing some difficulty recalling it when I visited him in 2004.
