Oman Tahki عُمان تحكي

Overview

Oman Tahki is a 16-episode historical television series exploring defining moments, influential figures and significant places from across Omani history. Each episode focuses on a distinct story, bringing a different period of Oman’s past to the screen through historical narrative, dramatic reconstruction, imagery and music.

Among the figures portrayed in the series is Imam Ahmed bin Said Al Busaidi, whose rise during the final years of the Ya’aruba period marked the beginning of a new political era in Oman. The series places these stories within their wider historical context, presenting Oman’s history through the people and events that helped shape it.

Ahmed Almusawi composed the original score for Oman Tahki, developing a musical language inspired by Oman’s history and cultural landscape while using a cinematic and orchestral approach to support the dramatic character of the series.

Rather than treating the soundtrack as a single recurring background, the score changes with the world of each story—from maritime history and conflict to Omani musical traditions and large-scale dramatic sequences.

Selections from the score were later released as Oman Tahki (Original Score), a ten-track album featuring pieces including From Here It Began, The Lion of the Seas, The Pirates, Al-Azi & Al-Razha, Battlefield, Socotra and What Will Happen?

The production also featured the title song Oman Tahki, with lyrics by Younis Al Busaidi, melody by Haitham Rafi, and arrangement and mixing by Ahmed Almusawi.
