Music<br />
Bodu Beru is the most popular form of music and dance in the<br />
country, believed to have been introduced in the early 19th<br />
century by African slaves. Historians believe that Thaara, which<br />
also holds a special place in local entertainment, have been in-<br />
troduced from the Middle East in the seventeenth century.<br />
Other forms of dance such as Bandiya Jehun have a strong<br />
South Asian flavor. Today western pop and Indian music is<br />
popular with the young and old.<br />

The Maldivians are skilled craftsmen. This can be seen in<br />

by the women of Fioari in the south and the work of skilled<br />
calligraphers whose works old and new that can be viewed in<br />
