Tanbur Videos

Tanburban brings together performances on the tanbur, the long-necked lute at the heart of the Kurdish Yarsan tradition: ritual Yarsan maqams, albums, concerts, solo and ensemble playing, documentaries and lessons – from the narrators and masters of the past to today’s players. Browse the videos by category, or open a playlist to hear albums and courses in their original order. Many tracks come with a note on the maqam, its verses, the performers and its background.
