【亚洲·巴林】非吉里 Fjiri（2021年）

非吉里(Fjiri)是纪念巴林珍珠潜水历史的音乐表演。可以追溯到19世纪末，传统上由珍珠潜水员和珍珠船员表演，以表达海上所面临的困难。表演者们围成一圈，唱着、弹着不同类型的鼓、编钟和用作乐器的陶罐。圆圈的中心由舞者和主唱占据，主唱负责指挥表演。非吉里起源于穆哈拉克岛，直到20世纪中叶，这里的大部分人口都是珍珠社区的一部分。然而，今天，通过在巴林所有地区的节日中表演，这种做法已经吸引了更广泛的观众。它现在在全国广为人知，被视为表达巴林人民与海洋之间联系的一种手段。非吉里通常由珍珠潜水员和珍珠工作人员的后代以及其他个人在名为杜尔斯的文化空间中表演。传播过程通常需要持续不断地在杜尔斯中练习，并为观众表演。虽然所有的男性团体都会表演非吉里，但社区的所有成员都喜欢它。这些词、节奏和乐器用来传达毅力、力量和足智多谋的价值观。

Fjiri is a musical performance that commemorates the history of pearl diving in Bahrain. Dating back to the late nineteenth century, it was traditionally performed by pearl divers and pearling crews to express the hardships faced at sea. The performers sit in a circle, singing and playing different types of drums, finger chimes and a jahl, a clay pot used as an instrument. The centre of the circle is occupied by the dancers and the lead singer, who is in charge of conducting the performance. Fjiri originated on the Island of Muharraq, where, up until the mid-twentieth century, most of the population formed part of the pearling community. However, today the practice has reached a wider audience through performances in festivals across all regions of Bahrain. It is now well-known across the country and is viewed as a means of expressing the connection between the Bahraini people and the sea. Fjiri is usually performed in cultural spaces called durs by descendants of pearl divers and pearling crews and by other individuals. The transmission process usually entails consistently practicing in durs and performing for audiences. Although it is performed by all-male groups, Fjiri is enjoyed by all members of the community. The words, rhythms and instruments are used to convey the values of perseverance, strength and resourcefulness.
