Myouf Megly Kuwaiti Band

KUWAIT

The band, composed of 60 members, is affiliated to the Kuwaiti National Cultural Council.  It was established in 1962 by the Artist Myouf Megly for maintaining the Kuwaiti heritage, especially marine arts.  The band flourished by the end of the seventies when it began to perform different forms of the Kuwaiti heritage.

 

The band is famous for performing several types of arts, the most popular being “El Selkini” which is the most difficult type art in the Gulf region as it depends on sophisticated voices and rhythms.

The band participated in several national festivals, the most important of which are: Karin International Festival, Kuwaiti International Music Festival, Kuwaiti National Days’ Celebrations. The band also represented Kuwait in Emirates, Bahrain, Spain, South Korea, Sudan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.

 

Now the band is managed by Mr. Solaiman Mayouf, the son of the late Mayouf Megly (founder of the band).
