Libyan Music


Libyan music is considered some of the best music in the world. It is mixed between many brands such as following below:

a) Almalof
It is a kind of music that relates to groups of people who come from Al Andalus (Spain) a long time ago. The musicians of this band are around fifteen; divided into singers, drums, fiddlers, flutist, and the lead singer.

b) Azzokra
This is another sort of music which comes from the south west part of Libya. However, in this kind of music they often use drums and bagpipes and the number of musicians is usually three or five.

Nowadays, Libyan music is effected by Western music like Pop, Rock and Rap which are made in a mixture of Arabic and other languages. Therefore, music will remain as one of the languages that is shared by all the world.
