Mistaken concept of this musical term in the article's version until 10 July 2025
[edit ]The article claims that tarab "is a classical Arabic music genre", but this is mistaken. Even though two of the sources make this claim, one of them is an unreliable blog, and the other two don't make this statement. On the contrary, ethnomusicological reliable sources define tarab as "a state of heightened emotionality" and "a style of music and musical performance in which such emotional states are evoked". - I have therefore rewritten all of this article, referring to RS.

- Diva define it as: " Tarab music is a style of vocal and instrumental Arab music. Tarab music genres include: adwar, qasaid, mawawil, qudud, muwashahat, al maqam, taqsim, layali, sama’i, and others." So, it is no question that it does refer to music genre.

- Sorry, but as you can see from the multiple reliable sources, it is not a genre, but a concept that first of all refers a reaction of the listeners. Without listeners, there can be no tarab. In a secondary meaninng, a style of Arab music such as by Umm Kalthoum and others has been referred to as tarab style. - Please read the article and the sources carefully, and you will see that different genres like muwashahat, qasaid, qudud can elicit tarab, but they this is not the same. BTW, taqsim is not a genre either, but an instrumental style. - This is why I reverted your changes that went back to the earlier, mistaken notion.
