Jerash highlanders (Jordan, Jerash)

The Jordanian bagpipe is part of a unique musical heritage. Introduced under the British Mandate in the 1920s, it was enthusiastically adopted by the army of the young kingdom, becoming a central element of military bands . Even today, its sounds accompany both national ceremonies and tribal festivals.

The red and white keffiyeh worn by the musicians anchors this practice in a strong Bedouin aesthetic. In the majestic setting of the ancient ruins of Jerash , this alliance between Scottish instrument and Jordanian identity embodies the vitality of a culture capable of integrating and transforming. Each note connects worlds.
