Lebanese Folkloric Dabke @ Deir Al-Ahmar Youth Party NSW, 2010

The Lebanese Folkloric Dabke Group of Canberra AND the Deir Al Ahmar Youth Association Dabke Group @ Deir Al Ahmar Youth Association's Annual Party, NSW, Australia, 5 June 2010.

Mary sings the traditional 'Zagharit' for her beloved 'Deir Al-Ahmar' and the youth from this village.

The Dabke is accompanied by the sounds of the traditional Levantine 'Mijwiz' and the 'Tabl'.

'Mijwiz' means "dual," or "married" in Arabic, because of its consisting of two, short, cane reed pipes put together, making the mijwiz a double-pipe, single-reed woodwind instrument. It requires a special playing technique known as "circular breathing," which produces a continuous tone, without pausing to take a breath.

'Tabl' means "drum" in Arabic. Its shell is made of hard wood, perhaps walnut or chestnut, though many woods may be in use depending on the region where the drum is made. The heads are usually donkey or goat skin, and they are shaped into circles by wooden frames. The drummer plays the accented beats with the dominant hand on the side of the drum with the thicker skin, using a thick pipe-like stick which is often made with walnut. Unaccented beats are played by the nondominant hand on the side of the drum having the thin skin, using a thin stick often made from soft wood such as willow or cornel.
