In an exceptional cultural evening that blended the beauty of language with a profound sense of belonging, the Jeddah Culture and Arts Association hosted poet Dr. Saleh Al-Shadi for a dialogue entitled "The Song and Its National Message." The event, moderated by media personality Mahdi Al-Zahrani, was part of the cultural activities supported by the "Madeed" initiative of the Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission, reflecting the Kingdom's commitment to documenting artistic heritage and strengthening national identity.

The song is a mirror of the homeland and living memory

Dr. Saleh Al-Shadi began his talk by highlighting the philosophy of the national song, describing it as a "mirror of the nation" and not merely a fleeting artistic work that ends with the occasion. Al-Shadi emphasized that the poem is the backbone of any timeless song, and that no matter how beautiful the melody, its impact is incomplete unless it is accompanied by sincere lyrics that resonate with the heart. He pointed out that it is the lyrics that grant the song its "passport" across generations, transforming it from a mere melody into a historical document that encapsulates the sentiments of an entire era.

Historical context: The Saudi song as a document of events

In further elaborating on the importance of national songs, it's worth noting that Saudi songs have historically played a pivotal role in documenting the major transformations witnessed by the Kingdom and the region. From the very beginning, national songs were not merely a form of entertainment, but rather a tool for mobilizing morale and unifying the nation, especially during times of crisis and major political shifts. Over the decades, Saudi songs have successfully served as a rich record of societal development, from nomadic life and palm groves to modern urban renaissance, making them an integral part of the Kingdom's intangible heritage.

A review of a career full of achievements

During the evening, Al-Shadi reviewed milestones in his long career writing operettas and patriotic songs performed by leading artists from the Kingdom and the Gulf. He explained that his work was not primarily aimed at celebratory writing, but rather at poetically documenting scenes of the nation and the details of popular joy. The audience enthusiastically responded to examples of his timeless works presented during the event, such as the masterpiece "We Are Abu Fahd's Men," sung by the renowned Arab artist Mohammed Abdu, and "Pledging Allegiance and Extending a Hand, This Is the Crown Prince," sung by the artist Talal Salama—works that remain vivid in the collective memory of Saudis.

Soft power and its regional influence

The discussion also touched upon the concept of “soft power,” with the intellectuals and artists present agreeing that Saudi song, thanks to its poetic depth and melodic authenticity, has transcended geographical boundaries to become a cultural influence in the Arab world. This comes at a time when the Kingdom is witnessing unprecedented cultural activity within the framework of Vision 2030, which gives special attention to arts and literature as bridges for cultural exchange.

A closing that celebrates renewed identity

The evening concluded with a speech by the association’s director, Mohammed Al-Subaih, who praised the support of the “Madid” program for this cultural movement, stressing that the Saudi song is experiencing a renewal phase in its identity, based on a great legacy of brilliant poetic names, foremost among them Saleh Al-Shadi, whom he described as “writing the homeland with the ink of love,” so his poems were anthems that people spontaneously and lovingly recited before the artists sang them.
