Aleppo is considered one of the main centres of Arabic traditional and classic music with the Aleppine ''[[Muwashshah]]s'', ''[[Qudud Halabiya]]'' and ''[[Arabic maqam|Maqams]]'' (religious, secular and folk poetic-musical genres). In December 2021, the Qudud Halabiya was included into the [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists|UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list]] as [[Intangible cultural heritage]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Al-Qudoud al-Halabiya |url=https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/al-qudoud-al-halabiya-01578 |publisher=UNESCO Culture Sector |access-date=2021-12-18 |archive-date=15 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215150323/https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/al-qudoud-al-halabiya-01578 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Aleppines in general are fond of Arab classical music, the ''Tarab'', and it is not a surprise that many artists from Aleppo are considered pioneers among the Arabs in classic and traditional music. The most prominent figures in this field are Sabri Mdallal, [[Sabah Fakhri]],<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/sabah-fakhri-dies/2021/11/02/6e795a2a-3bdd-11ec-a493-51b0252dea0c_story.html |title=Sabah Fakhri, Syrian tenor who helped preserve classical Arabic music, dies at 88 |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=2021-11-02 |accessdate=2022-09-11 |archive-date=3 November 2021 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20211103070023/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/sabah-fakhri-dies/2021/11/02/6e795a2a-3bdd-11ec-a493-51b0252dea0c_story.html |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Shadi Jamil]], [[Abed Azrie]] and [[Nour Mhanna]].
