I don't know how to make a dissambiguation page, but we might need one.

Taarab is also the musical concept of extacy in Middle Eastern music (where the genre gets its name)

also, the sympathetic strings on a sitar are called "taarab strings"

There are a few groups with the name Taarab, but don't know if any are importanat enough to get an entry

Kanun, not Qanun[edit]

Please be sure to spell the zither Kanun (Instrument), not Qanun. The latter refers to law. Dogru144 19:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tarab[edit]

Tarab is a music genre in the Arab world, specifcly in Egypt and parts of Turkey. I think It's should be defined as Arab Genre not Tanzanian music genre. [1] [2] radiant guy 10:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Taarab is also a concept (which these genres take their name from) of musical ecstacy in Arab music discourse. Also, the sympathetic strings on a sitar are called Taarab strings.

This should not just be defined as a E. African musical genre as wonderful as it is :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.127.228 (talk) 05:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
