1.
Kuwaiti citizens of Iranian origin.
Ethnic music is a category that comprises Kuwaitis of non-Arab origin, such as Iranians known as ‘ayam, and African people known as khawāl (black) or ‘abīd (slaves). Iranian Kuwaitis’ music features the bagpipe (habbān) and is generally performed during weddings. African Kuwaitis have two types of music, ṭanbūraand leiwa. Traditionally, these were both used to conjure spirits or to appease them.
