RIYADH: The rababah, a locally made traditional single-string instrument originating from Bedouin communities, has drawn interest from visitors to the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, which runs until Jan. 2, the Saudi Press Agency reports.
The instrument is played by drawing a bow across its single string while the fingers of the other hand control the pitch.
It is often accompanied by sung poetic verses in a blend of music and oral tradition.
The Northern Borders region principality is hosting a display of rababah music at the Ministry of Interior’s Security Oasis exhibition at the camel festival.
