All good trips have to end sometime and this one was particularly memorable. Now that the Vagabrothers are in London, getting ready for whatever adventures and competitions may come (on their way to hopefully winning an around the world trip!!), our around the world musical journey has come to an end. But like all good adventures, the end of this one starts the beginning of another. Look out tomorrow for the start of a new chapter for JamandaHalf as we strive to bring you music that transcends boundaries. As well, to recap the 13 country journey we just took, check out our favorites from the many countries we "visited" over the last two weeks.

JamandaHalf & The Vagabrothers Destination 6: Oman

Once again, I find myself blown away by all the sweet music that there is in the world. Not only does Oman have a great flag but they also have amazing music. Oman sits on the Arabian Sea and borders Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and The United Arab Emirates. As we are learning, musical heritage is an expression of traditional culture, sociopolitical history and regional location. Regional instruments, neighboring countries, and countries with political ties to the sultanate (e.g. Zanzibar) have shaped Omani music. Music, dance and art play an important role in the lives of Omanis.
For more information on Omani folk music please check out the Omani Center for Traditional Music
