On November 7 in 2003, UNESCO proclaimed Yemen’s tradition of poetic songs called al-Ghina al-San’ani a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Yemen’s port city Aden is known historically as the cradle of Yemeni theatre, and Yemen’s capital city Sana’a hosts festivals for World Theatre Day. Last October on the 14th, Yemeni culture came into focus on campus; in celebration of Yemen Liberation Day of 1963, at Management and Science University (MSU).
Organized by Yemeni MSUrians, the itinerary began with a video documentary on the Day’s significance – the Uprising against British rule. The video about the revolution was followed by a pictorial show of Yemen’s provinces.
Yemeni social tradition is among others reflected in the clothes, which differ slightly from those found in other parts of the Arabian Peninsula. More often, the menfolk wear a sarong-like wrap-around kilt with a shirt, and a turban or a finely woven bamboo hat called a kofiya. The womenfolk may wear the sharsaf, a black skirt, loose slacks called sirwal, a scarf, and a veil ensemble. In the countryside, a woman’s face may or may not be covered, and bright fabric may be used to make dresses.
Despite Arabian influence, Yemeni cuisine distinguishes itself from that of the Middle East and differs from region to region. Meat more often means chicken, goat, and lamb instead of beef. At the MSU campus booth, visitors were treated to meals of rice and chicken, Yemeni patisserie delights of bakhumry and ligimat, biscuits, cakes, and dates, as well as Arabic coffee and Adani tea.
