Kuwait National Day 2018
This Doodle’s Key Themes
As Kuwaitis take today to celebrate National Day, the people and cities come to life to honor what makes their home special. The past few decades have woven modern art, theater, and music into a unique, rich culture. In celebration of the holiday, you’ll likely hear the urban sounds of sawt, a music genre born in Kuwait, ringing through the streets. Sawt is made from ‘ud, a lute, miras, drums, and violins to create an authentically Kuwaiti sound. You’ll also find that parades, light shows and concerts are all traditionally part of the National Day celebration.
Today’s Doodle features the national flag waving proudly. You’ll find flags flying across the country today as Kuwaitis show their pride for their homeland.
Happy National Day!
