Instruments Amazighes

[idir]

I have heard of the usage for the word AZAWAN for music, before I thought it was merely a Tamashek word but its used also in Mauritania and Morocco. There is a annual festival called AZAWAN in the southern province of Morocco. Purpose of this topic is to track other instruments and music related words.

adinan: guitare [usage, que je sais: Souss, Atlas et Mauritania]


Does anyone know a possible related word of the word iggiw, in the northern-moroccan amazigh vocabulary?

Et Lutâr c'est amazigh comme mot?
y'a t-il un rapport avec guitare (g->y....guitare->yutar)?

Re : Instruments Amazighes

c'est possible, Je trouve dans wiki: Guitare - Wikipédia

According Tayri a music group in the netherlands which play amazigh music in tradition of Hammu Al-yazid and Muhammad Rwica: you can find information/displayd that the Lutar was even used to play music by the Ancient Pharaos in Egypt. And that it is the same instrument used by imazighen today.

Figurines playing tanburs. Excavated in Susa, Elam, now Iran. Dated 2000-1500 B.C. kept at the National Museum of Iran.

Re : Instruments Amazighes

j'ai trouvé un mot en tachelhit :

ggwi : pincer, toucher

ggwi ce n'est pas "pincer" ça designe l'action qui consiste avec la main ou un instrument à exercer une pression sur un etre vivant pour provoquer une reaction de ça part....

Azul fellawen,

pour ce qui est des instruments de musique amazi&s, voici ce que je connais :

ajewwaq (probablement de l'arabe : al jawq)
amendayer, avendayer
derbuka
l&id'a n tiylewt (corne muse)

ces mots lots sont attestés en amazi& de kabylie (region igawawen = ath irathen)

il y a aussi chez nos freres du sud Imuca&:

Tindi (sorte de tambourine)
inz'ad (instrument à corde (une corde) vient de anz'ad' (meche, cheveu ...)

pour l'instrument menstioné : lewtar

je crois qui pourait etre d'origine arabe, al watre = corde, arc .. en arabe, et en plus ca correspond ay faite qu'il est un instrument à corde.

tudert i tmazi&t

Re : Instruments Amazighes

I encountered an other word (Ayt 'Ayach) which I never heard of before in the context of music ;-)
Any related words in other regions also outside Morocco?

Q:: is tsnm i tlawt n "ku yun da tnyala" ?
R:: yih, tlawt iz'il' aya!
