Faith's Musical Blog

 Hello friends! I hope you all have had a great day so far and week haha, but lets get started on this blog! So I was going to interview my boyfriend of two years because he was seriously considered family to my family and me but unfortunately we broke up almost a week ago (the thing is though, is that I never ever saw that coming haha... who knew) I am fine though, really. He wasn't worth it that much anyways (just a sis tryna make herself feel better I guess). So because of my breakup , I am having to interview a different boyfriend who is considered family as well (don't worry, I am not a hoe, it is my sister's boyfriend).

 Hey guys! I hope everyone has had a great week. Today for my cool stuff blog, I wanted to dive into Libya and explore their music and culture. Apparently, according to Wiki, the most popular music in Libya is Arab music. There are various types of Arab music such as, Andalusi, Chabi, and Arab classical music. Hope you guys enjoy! For my first topic, I wanted to explore and learn about the type of instruments they use in their music. After looking some things up, I found that the most common instruments that the Libya's use is the zokra, which is a bagpipe; the flute; tambourine; oud, which is a fretless lute; the darbuka, which is a goblet drum held sideways and is played with one's fingers. What I found myself the most interested in was the zokra. The zokra is a double-chanter terminating in two cow horns. I learned that in the south and west of Libya, the zokra is played as the bagpipe, but in the east, it is played by the mouth without the bag that is apart of the "bag...
