Qanun

Qanun music is a traditional genre of Middle Eastern music that is characterized by its use of the qanun, a stringed instrument that is similar to a zither. The qanun is plucked with the fingers and produces a unique sound that is often accompanied by other instruments such as the oud, violin, and percussion. Qanun music is typically slow and melodic, and often features improvisation. It is often used in traditional Middle Eastern music, as well as in modern fusion music.
