Talk:Taarab

I don't know how to make a dissambiguation page, but we might need one.

Taarab is also the musical concept of extacy in Middle Eastern music (where the genre gets its name)

also, the sympathetic strings on a sitar are called "taarab strings"

There are a few groups with the name Taarab, but don't know if any are importanat enough to get an entry

Kanun, not Qanun

Please be sure to spell the zither Kanun (Instrument), not Qanun. The latter refers to law. Dogru144 19:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Tarab

Tarab is a music genre in the Arab world, specifcly in Egypt and parts of Turkey. I think It's should be defined as Arab Genre not Tanzanian music genre. [1] [2] radiant guy 10:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Taarab is also a concept (which these genres take their name from) of musical ecstacy in Arab music discourse. Also, the sympathetic strings on a sitar are called Taarab strings.

This should not just be defined as a E. African musical genre as wonderful as it is :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.127.228 (talk) 05:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
