Fidjeri is particular repertoire of vocal music which is performed by Bahraini male pearl divers. “A chorus of accompanying singers and clapping” backs up a lead singer (“Traditional”). Also, Fidjeri includes the accompaniment of “small double-sided hand-drums, known as the mirwas and the jahlah,” and dances with clay water jars (“Traditional”). There are eight different genres of fidjeri, among which the two main ones are Bahri and Adsani.
