These are changing times in the music world. But the ‘ud will not be left behind, and is in every new pop recording, just as it was slung across every shepherd’s back 4,000 years ago in Egypt. The lute, though found on the dusty shelves of antique stores and on bad radio shows full of mediocre musicians these days, still lives on in the music theory that westerners and Arabs are so rooted in, and in the intervallic understanding both cultures have of their musical surroundings. And from bluegrass banjo to the sarod in India, every stringed instrument might share this common ancestor. Lamak? At least it makes a good story.
