The Middle Eastern Harp also known as the Qanun is a stringed instrument that is commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean music. Its unique melodic characteristic makes it one of the familiar instruments in Eastern music. It is a plucked zither that has a trapezoidal shape and is typically made of wood. The strings are stretched over the soundboard and are played with small plectra that are attached to the fingers. The Qanun has a large range of notes and is known for its delicate and expressive sound. It is often used as a solo instrument or as part of an ensemble. 

This new release in the Middle East Essentials series by Gio Israel focuses solely on rhythm. Rhythm is the beating heart that drives music and this collection of rare percussive drums and traditional rhythms defines the geographical region between the greek peninsula and Levant area.

Throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean, rhythms have been used for many purposes across generations. What would be referred to by the Western musical establishments as odd or asymmetrical rhythms, are actually very common for the native Middle Eastern musician.
