Pashtun Melodies: Tanbur (Tambur)

Pashto: "د تنبور نغمه د زړه ژبه ده."

English: "The melody of the Tanbur is the language of the heart."

Tanbur is a long-necked string instrument, similar to the Rubab but with a distinct sound.

It is used in both classical and folk music, symbolizing the continuity of musical tradition and the blend of different cultural influences.
