Description
This high face value stamp illustrates the Tar Tounsi, also known as Riq. It is a tambourine decorated with copper jingles, a central element of the classical orchestra (the Malouf).
Tar represents the refinement of Arab-Andalusian music inherited from Spain. The musician's virtuosity on this instrument adds a metallic shine to the subtle melodies of Malouf. This stamp celebrates Tunisia as the guardian of urban artistic elegance and the know-how of master luthiers.
