"The Qanbus, the Absent Sound of Yemen

 

Since ancient times, Yemen has been and still is a source of authentic art and culture. However, its authentic voice has started to fade due to the factors of war and the spread of extremism.

In this documentary produced by Fan Time for Cultural Development, we take you on a journey into the charm of the Qanbus instrument and the reasons behind its absence.
