Poet Haitham Abbas: Equestrian songs will not disappear

Sudan Events – Magda Hassan

Poet and composer Haitham Abbas presented an approach and comparison between (horses and women) in lyrical poetry.

“The similarity between horses and women is great and they have many common denominators, including the coordination of the lute, the stature, the agility, the coquettishness and the pride. The Arabs used them in the past for strength and victory and in the present for decoration, pride and boasting. They preserved their origin and lineage. The purebred ones were used by the Arabs in the past when horses multiplied and their lineages mixed by beating them severely. The one who refuses food is known as purebred by his pride and self-esteem, unlike the one without a purebred.” He said in a post on Facebook.

“In fact, in the world of horses, love and fascination are natural. The knight takes from the characteristics and nature of horses, which are the most honorable animals mentioned in the Qur’an.” He added.

“The talk about horses and the love of horses never ends, and this is where the story of equestrian songs began, which will never die or disappear. Rap and hip-hop come, the public opinion dominates, reggae music dominates, and equestrian songs, enthusiasm, and the dalouka remain my tracks and my cultural and literary interests, because they are an immortal legacy and a sporting and cultural present that cannot be obliterated by the effects of invasion, nor affected by cultural and artistic intersections and interactions, whether positively or negatively.” He added.
