At-tambur

At-tambur is a type of traditional artist that originates from the Tambuk society. These artists draw on decades of musical history to deliver some of the most beloved songs and albums in the genre. Many pieces are rhythmic, focusing on plucked string instruments blended with powerful lyrical messaging imbued with indigenous tradition. They draw on their heritage to bring soulful renditions of folk songs, all accompanied by intricate percussion patterns. As such, many at-tambur performances have found an audience on contemporary stages - something rather unexpected for such a richly symbolic form of music.
