International Forum on the Imzad in Tamanrasset

 [File] Imzad |
The First International Imzad Symposium is being held from 31 March to 3 April in Tamanrasset, Algeria. Organized by Tamanrasset-based association Save the Imzad with the support of UNESCO, the international cultural event is being attended by anthropologists from 12 countries and musicians from imzad-playing nations such as Mali, Niger and Algeria.
The symposium aims to support awareness of the one-stringed fiddle, its role in Touareg culture and in the current world. UNESCO promoted an imzad training programme for 40 girls who will receive their diplomas at the symposium. (APS, UNESCO)

The rural areas of Egypt also have this Imzad. I am looking for links to these musical types. Thanks

I'm a Tunisian musician a teacher at the national institute and the high institute of music in Tunisia and researcher in traditional music in Tunisia and the Arab world. I'm interested in traditional instruments such as the Rebab. I hope to communicate and exchange information with you.

Is everything due to UNESCO and Arabs? Their history are presented by foreigners. Thanks anyway for this nice topic.

But you forgot that Morocco has two types of Rebab instruments.
