Iqa
Iqa is a traditional form of music and dance originating from the Middle East, particularly popular in Arab cultures. It is characterized by its rhythmic patterns and is often performed during celebrations and social gatherings. The music typically features instruments like the oud and darabuka, creating a lively atmosphere.
In Iqa, the rhythm is divided into specific time signatures, which guide the dancers' movements. Each Iqa has its unique feel and tempo, allowing for a variety of expressions in both music and dance.
