Iqa‘ Katakufti 8/8

Iqa‘ Index

Iqa‘ Katakufti is a rare iqa‘ used in the Muwashah vocal genre.

An alternate form of this iqa‘ replaces the rest on the 5th beat with a dum, creating 2 consecutive dum-s (similarly to the second form of Iqa‘ Aqsaq).

The name Katakufti is sometimes used as an alternate name for Iqa‘ Nawari because they sound alike when Iqa‘ Katakufti is played in 4/4 and started from the last beat (the last tak).
