Abstract<\/strong>
\nThis article critically considers how the musical piece, \u201cAl-Burda,\u201d has introduced ground-breaking
\nformal and rhythmic innovations within Arab contemporary traditional music. I explore the
\ncentrality of Mustafa Said\u2019s musical adaptation of Arabic prosody in generating new rhythmic
\nmodes whilst highlighting Said\u2019s claims of continuity with an Arab literary and musical tradition
\nthrough the musical adaptation of the poetics of mu\u2019arada, which means building upon pre-existing
\nmodels. This article draws upon postcolonial theory as a fundamental tool of analysis for the
\nunderpinning socio-political commentary present at every stage of creation and production of
\n\u201cAl-Burda.\u201d<\/p>\n
