The dictionary mentions that, when the term hubbub comes from Hispanic Arabic al’arabíyya, it refers to the Arabic language. In addition, in colloquial language, the oral or written language that is not understood is called hubbub.

Music composed specifically to break the ice and dance carefree is often combined with meals that invite great gatherings between friends and family, and all this leads to an environment where the hubbub reigns, where many conversations, laughter and screams overlap. they only seem to make sense within the group that produces them.
