Lamma Bada Yatathanna on the Cumbus

[werewolvina]

This is beautiful!

[muhrvis]

Very cool, love the funky sound.

[Oguzhanpasa1907]

turkish imstrument

[nathpowe]

I play guitar, viola, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, and cello, but now I want one of THESE. I know where to get one, but before I do, I really want to know how I'm going to learn it... I would use a book, or person, or Youtube instructables, but idk where to find any of those. Help?

[AlexBouzouki]

@nathpowe It is very hard...I want one too, I dont have much time but I am interested in playing Byzantine scales(echoi) and turkish makams.Gratefully I know people to show me...I believe a teacher or a friend is the best solution...

[yamahonkawazuki]

mainly means " life of the party"

[AlexBouzouki]

@yamahonkawazuki cumbus comes from the word συμποσιον (sumbosion) ,which means fest in greek but in turkish means ridiculous

[yamahonkawazuki]

@AlexBouzouki i had heard this as well. " rediculous" or life of the party. either way love the sound of it. appreciate the correction my friend :)

[JustWickedSwede]

@TerminalSulcus Still, I hear a lot of simular harmonies in swedish and arabic folk music :)

[JustWickedSwede]

This sounds like a swedish folksong !

[sallom899]

Beautiful !

[diegoadelgado]

feel like chilling in the desert

[1MartinD28]

add some of those hand cymbals and some hot dancing babes and you got something

[100copies]

lots of mistakes in there



[yamahonkawazuki]

@100copies you have your version uploaded?

[wackyruss]

Wow. A Turkish banjo. I want one. ::drool::

I wonder how Foggy Mountain Breakdown would sound on that beast?

[yamahonkawazuki]

@wackyruss similar to a banjo. but not a banjo. its called a cumbus. in turkish meaning somethign similar to " life of the party"

[LordGorse]

That was amazing! Love the sound of this instrument!

[mewoone]

mmmmm, it is al andalus heritage song..but i don't know about the instrument that used here.

[Hikikomori013]

Is the cumbus front tensioned like a zither banjo or rear tensioned like a bluegrass banjo?

The sound is beautiful. I love the sound of a double string.

[bluerush06]

this is Turkish folk instrument cumbus... it has got magical sound... it's tuning similar oud

[nwitron1]

Thanks For the info it looks like the G is used as a drone. Its similar to and istrument i played that was tuned GADGC.

[nwitron1]

What the tuning for it?

[FredFredrik]

My cumbus tuning is: G,A,D,G,C,E (E should be F, but one of the strings broke, so I tuned the remaining one down to E)

[agathasharon]

Hey Nice one Nice instrument looks like a banjo where is that from and how do you call it where could i find it ,,

[67zeki67]

Cümbüş is Türkışh musıc ecipman.

[dannonflynn]

[jclmusic]

[donia301]

r u Arabic man? do u know the words? I loved ur playing, it's amazing, I'm from Egypt and I love this old song

BRAVO

[Max0Inq]

Is this song you play a folk tune or it's cover of Hamza el Din's song? I heard it before in few versions, that's why I'm asking. It's very beauitful song and you played it really well.

[megadethmonk]

If you like this song and want to hear a version with the vocals, you should check out Arkan's lamma bada.

[muhrvis]

nice! rock on! keep working!

[HARDROCKRAMMSTEINFAN]

Just listen to the Song! Dont talk shit here!

[Dansback21]

What a fantastic instrument. Its like a banjo/ oud/ sitar cross. I wonder why its not more popular?

[Max0Inq]

Why sitar?

[henrikdrescher]

nice...where does one buy a cumbus. and can you recommend a particular brand?

[alsamurai911]

nice man thats song moash from andalus sing by firoz

[vividorrrr]

This is from Al Andalus. But it doesn´t matter, it´s just beatiful music

[nurtanem]

If you studied the music history you would know! I did and i don't have to argue with anyone... Believe what you want to believe but also respect the people with knowledge instead of using inappropriate language please...

[salebanon77]

fuck you all!! it is Lebanese not turkish or Andalousia... It's us Lebs who chanted this song lol

[nurtanem]

This is an Ottomanic original song... For everyones information. Stop fighting over it... In it's time we were as one...Ottoman Emperor... Thank you...

[suphibaykal]

what matters turk or arab? arent we children of same god? stop this crap pls..

[telemachia]

@suphibaykal Actually there is no god :( We're all humans though.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@telemachia speak for yourself Eh? you are entitled to your OPINION. and as a christian, ill respect that. 

[yamahonkawazuki]

@suphibaykal agreed. as it says in teh bible. " GOD made man in his own image. funny thing is i explain this to the racists out there, i worship a man born in or enar what is now israel. aka middle east. i dont care :). GOD blessed this man, and others including myself wiht an ability to either play or appreciate this beautiful music. it speaks to my soul.

[babai2345]

Tack!

[CallOfDutyLoser]

amazing.

[hawasawayahawa]

This is not a Turkish song. It's a classical Arabic song from the Andalusi (Arabic-Spanish) era. It sounds very nice on a Turkish instrument, however.

[oryantaloz]

where this song originally from??

turk or arab?

[bjeans321]

its actually Arabian and its not quit ancient it was made in the 70s and it was sung by fayrooz (a famous singer in the 70s).

[tarikrajab]

The Muwashah called :"Lamma Bada Yatathanna" , and its to old song (Andalusian song). Feuruz just make a new performance of the song .

[stirruped]

I really enjoyed that, thanks.

[oryantaloz]

turkish name for that song pls?

[hawasawayahawa]

Not a Turkish song. It's an Arabic song. It's called, "Lamma Bada Yatathanna" Translation: When she began to twist [her body]

[nurtanem]

Turkish name of this song is ' Derde derman bu gece ' nesrin topkapi is singing with sibel can. You can also search as ' aman aman' aynur is singing on you tube...

[Layeli]

Hi nurtanem, i've been searcching "Derde derman bu gece" for long time and i can´t find it, can you help me? if you have this song, could you send it to me? please, it's a beautiful song, i really love it. Thank you.

[magirecords2004]

I had fun in Turkey.I love the belly dancing also.

[babygottbackk]

that shits crazy crazier than dragon force

[punkace]

The Maqam system's microtones makes almost any music of the middle east at the very least sound virtuosic by nature.

[exogencontainment]

I WANT ONE!

[bullenz]

Eyy man im so jeleous. i want ur instruments,

I got only Ukelele,guitar,piano,banjo and a accordion :(

[eightfootmanchild]

What tuning do you use?

[eightfootmanchild]

Whoops, you already answered that.

[grandotitat]

[tasekk]

VERY NICE :-)

[slayer544]

if you read the comments at all can you tell me how yours is tuned? thanks

[slayer544]

good stuff man. Im about to buy one within the next week or so. One question I have is how is the action on the fretboard? if its too high can you adjust the bridge?

[dinkyface]

Nice, such a tranquil beautiful song. Just got back from a bellydance workshop where we were dancing to this song - interesting 10/8 time signature. I didn't hear as strongly the 6-7-8 beats in your version, cwhick makes it more meditative.

[letitiatrent]

Incredible----Maybe even I can afford a poor mans Oud!

[dice283]

It is like a poor man's oud! I have one but I think it sounds great the way it is, nice and loud

[LinkII08]
