Great character and photo!!
Such strong personality in his face, a superb shot of this musician, dear Michel. I would love to hear him play. A wonderful photograph. I am sorry, Michel I do not know the name of this instrument. I would like to know too! I will check back later see if anyone knows. Have a beautiful night. Hugs. DiDi.
Very beautiful and interesting capture!!!
otra excelente obra de ese pais tan interesante
Excellente photo. J'aime l'expression de son visage. Il a un instrument surprenant mais je ne le connais pas. j'espère que quelqu'un pourra répondre ! Bises Virginie
What a great portrait!!
Beautiful shot, your superb portraits have shown the fascinating diversity of peoples and cultures!
This instrument is called the Rabab, Rababah or Rbab. It is a spike fiddle, traditionally used to accompany poetry. The Bedouin version has a quadrilateral sound box covered with skin and a single horsehair string. It is played with a horsehair bow. The Moroccan variant has a boat-shaped sound box and the string may be positioned to the side of the neck. In Egypt, the sound box is made from a coconut shell. Some versions have two strings. It really is an interesting instrument and I am looking now for a web site with sound so I can hear what it sounds like! This is another wonderful capture...a portrait that is rich in character and equally rich in culture.
Ooooh, PJ, I'm really impressed by your knowledge...
very much ! Hummm, I will have another one for you tomorrow !
great funny image, well done
What an amazing capture of this person so full of character - hugs Jane xx
What a great shot.
A very nice capture.
Great capture and I like the softening effect. If I may suggest something, I'd think of softening some of the pavement on his other side, to improve the balance. But in general it works very well to draw attention to the instrument.
Good capture and great plat to find a name of this instrument.
Great capture!!!!!!!!!!!!
simply superb my friend
Une série toujours aussi fascinante avec un portrait qui ne l'est pas moins! Cet instrument qui m'est inconnu est absolument superbe... bravo Michel... Jean-Louis se joint à moi en pensée, nous restons fidèles à RR mais actuellement, en ce qui concerne J.L, déménagement oblige et plus d'internet, mon tour est pour janvier!;-)
Excellent picture. Todd
un personnage intéressant avec du vécu,bravo.
Fantastic image, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That PJ is sure knowledgable about so many things. I did not have a clue what the instrument was. All I know is the portrait is great.
Beautiful colours in this pic. Excellent work my friend. Superb
wonderful shot...strange looking fellow though, he seems out of proportion somehow
Excellent portrait !!!
Oh, ça fait des années que j'ai pas vu un bon Rababah ! Excellente photo sur cet homme qui a l'air d'être heureux ! Bizzzzzzzz

Oh là! un mélange de violon:) je voudrais bien entendre le son de cette mélodie!
