Sawt (Arabic,صوت)(also spelled sout or sowt) is a kind of popular music found in the Arabian states of the Persian Gulf area, especially in Kuwait and Bahrain. Sawt is a complex form of urban music, originally performed by 'ud (a string instrument) and mirwas (a drum), with a violin later supplementing the arrangement.
