About
Rababa:
The rebab is considered part of the lute family (oud in Arabic). Plucked versions like the kabuli rebab (sometimes referred to as the robab or rubab) are plucked like the lute, but other versions are played with a bow. The closest to it is Gusle, the instrument still widely used in the Balkans. It is almost certainly the direct ancestor of the European violin, via the medieval rebec. It is used in a wide variety of musical ensembles and genres, corresponding with its wide distribution, and is built and played somewhat differently in different areas..
