THE second edition of Katara Oud Festival continued on Friday to present its musical nights with several oriental performances on offer by artists and bands from Oman, Iran, Qatar, Morocco, Syria, Azerbaijan and Indonesia.
The festival also presented a lecture under the theme of 'Al Farabi: The Second Teacher', which reaffirmed that Al Farabi was the first to come up with the theoretical and practical basics of musical sciences, noting that his book 'The Book of Music' addressed the science of melodies and harmony between acoustic levels and how the ear translates melodies into meanings.
