The Sounds of Moroccan Culture From the ancient folk pieces of the Berber mountain communities, to the Arab-Andalusian music of the cities, to the roots-fusion that you'll hear blaring from taxi radios and café ghetto blasters, music is the ultimate expression of Morocco's culture. Also called the doumbek , the Moroccan Darbouka is a single-head drum. It is played held under the arm, or held sideways on the lap. Variations of this drum are found across North Africa and the Middle East. Size: 9'' diameter x 15" height (Due to the handmade nature of this drum, size and color may vary). Materials: Ceramic base and goat leather upper.
