EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, an Arab flute player gracefully performs a tune amidst the thrilling atmosphere of a horse race in the desert near the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Dressed in traditional attire, the musician wears a white shemagh and a keffiyeh draped around his head, shielding him from the scorching sun. A Janbiya, a traditional Arab dagger, is securely fastened to his leather belt. The scene transports us back to the 1990s, a time when the desert landscape of Jordan came alive with the sounds of horse hooves pounding the sand and the melodic notes of the Arabic flute. The flute, also known as the picollo, is an essential instrument in Middle Eastern music, adding depth and emotion to the tunes. The horse race, a popular tradition in the region, adds to the excitement of the moment. The riders and their horses, coated in a layer of sweat and dust, race against each other, their determination evident in their focused expressions. The backdrop of the rugged desert terrain, with its towering cliffs and rocky outcrops, only enhances the sense of adventure and timelessness. The Arab flute player, with his performance, serves as an entertainer for the crowd, bringing them together in a shared appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of Jordan and the Middle East. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and traditions of the region, frozen in time and waiting to be rediscovered.
