- This communication examine the relationship of music and poetry to the central event of Yemeni social life, the magyal, an afternoon gathering where men come together to chew qat, a mild stimulant. The purpose of the magyal is sociability itself ('uns or insijam), a sens of fellow-feeling that makes busines, political, and personal relations smoother and more pleasant. The event and its social, economic, and physiological implications have been analyzed by Kennedy (1987), Weir (1985), and others. Lambert (1990) has already written at length on the role of music in the magyal, and other aspects of Yemeni social life. This communication differ from previous approaches to the magyal, however, by viewing the envent through the lens of poetry, and, in particular, through an analysis of the sung performance of a single poem.
