Ancient Iraqi rhythms based on Arabian maqams, which convey the images of ancient bazaars and mosques in Baghdad and other ancient places. The instuments used are oud (shortnecked fretless lute), dombak (single-headed goblet drum), riqq (tambourine), khishba (single headed narrow hour-glass drum made of wood) and duff or tar (single headed frame drum with jingles).
