thats a lyre.. if the bedouin is from africa then it probably is from Eritrea/Sudan lyre.. thats how the style looks.. if from the middle east then maybe near Israel.

[musicpeace]

That is so interesting. Thanks for shairng about the Touareg

[Maatdrummer1]

If you go see the Beduin in Algeirs/Mali, they call themselves the Touareg, and play this music on guitars and the Mali djembe.

Both are absolutely gorgeous. Someone said it, if I ever leave the world without dying, it will be to live among the Bedu.

[moojoa]

They may not be born musicians, but this man's heart is tuned to harmony.

[ekremibul]

Çölün sessizliği medevi müziğinde sese dönüşmüş adeta.Çöl kadar sade çöl gibi sonsuzluk var sesinde

[Max0Inq]

For sure, Beduins aren't born musicans.

[sootalbena]

Nice Arabic song

The lyrics translation:

Please mother call her because I miss her so much and let me talk to her.

Please leave us alone so I can talk to her

Where is my beloved one. I wish her happines and I dreaming of her .

May Allah lets her live long and make me happy for her . She is so wellcome . She is my prcious love

[musicpeace]

If you are seriously interested, I could hook you up with some wonderful people in the Negev desert in the South of Israel, or with a Bedouin chief who is a very dear friend of mine - in the North of Israel.

[ddorancalif]

Spent two years in Egypt as a soldier. Patrolled by vehicle and foot through Bedoiun territory extensively. Wonderful people - everywhere. Surprised me many times, but ALWAYS very pleasant, hospitable and friendly. I'd live among them in an instant if aforded the opportunity.

[musicpeace]

Interesting since these Bedouin originally came from the Sudan. Sudan borders on Eritrea, so it makes sense, the cultural connection.

[mewoone]

@musicpeace who said that they came from Sudan? Bedouin are from the middle of Hejaz (today part of Saudi)

[raztin1]

@mewoone The bedouin come from north africa and the middle-east my friend.

[leftysergeant]

This seems identical in sound and playing technique to the Eritrean/Ethiopian krar.

[philipchek]

De la vraie musique ! Merci :)

[Mustachemr]

Aiywa (yes).

[Mustachemr]

The guy at the end said, "Ahhh, that's beautiful" in Arabic.

[philipchek]

thanks for the translation, it's a real pleasure. :)
