Abstract

This paper studies the song as a theme in Ibrahim Al-Koni Novel, for it is interpreted as a main Constituent of the cultural ingredients in (Al-Tawareq) Tarja Society, and since Al-Koni was concerned in dating the history of this people in his numerous novels. His novels were mostly engaged in writing depicting the culture of desert people in their different rituals. The singing ritual specifically was one of the most remarkable cultural constituents to (Al-Tawareq) Tarja. Al-Koni was very honest in clearly depicting their lives. In his works about them he showed his care and interest in his writings about them. None of all his novels or stories he wrote, tried to ignore this specific subject. (Al-Tawareq) Tarja as seen by Al-Koni, are the most among other people who really care, and very much interested in singing, and memorizing poetry by heart. No one nation lives on the planet adores innovation as (Al-Tawareq) do. And there is no any tribe in history may exceed them in the number of poets and singers, because they all are nearly poets and singers.
