Abstract

The episode presents all the poetry and the songs dedicated to the love of the rural girl as well as the popular dance performed by both sexes, in traditional costumes representing different regions of Jordan. We will also wander through Jerash, and visit an amphitheater where annual festivals of culture and arts have been held. Among these songs are those associated with the well which is the meeting place of the lover and his beloved, the song “Willi Mahlaha”, as well as the poems on the theme of longing and love for the land. Finally we enjoy dances on a melody of the flute, and discover other popular bands.
