Sharshar
Sharshar is an Egyptian musical instrument known for its distinctive sound. It is a type of percussion instrument, similar to a tambourine, composed of a metal frame with small metallic jingles called zils. When shaken or struck, the jingles produce a bright, shimmering sound that adds rhythm and sparkle to traditional music. Sharshar is often used in Middle Eastern and North African music ensembles to provide a lively, rhythmic foundation and enhance the overall musical texture. Its portability and captivating sound make it a popular choice in folk and classical performances.
