Description
The Gombri (or Guembri) illustrated here is a three-stringed lute-drum, whose sound box is covered with camel skin.
This instrument is the pillar of Stambali music, a therapeutic and musical ritual of sub-Saharan origin integrated into Tunisian heritage. Its serious and percussive sound symbolizes the cultural mix of Tunisia and its deep African roots, linking the spiritual to the earthly through trance rhythms.
