Maqam al-iraqi
Maqam al-iraqi is a four hundred year old genre of Arab music found in Iraq and often considered the most perfect form of maqam. The instrumentation of the ensemble used in maqam al-iraqi, Jalghi baghdadi, includes a qart' (singer), three santur (hammered dulcimers), juazh (spike fiddle), tablah or dunbak (goblet drum), and sometimes riqq (tambourine).
