The Fezzan is a desertic region located to the West of Lybia, not far from Algeria or Niger. It is inhabited by Nomadic Arabs who ended up settling down around the palm groves, Tubu caravaneers and Tuareg people. Their musical practice is based on poetic songs accompanied on the Arab lute 'ûd as well as the metal qaraqeb castanets and various membrane drums.
