Found Sound Nation presents this sample pack of Amazigh traditional instruments including loutar (talotart) and ribab, played by producer Aziz Ozouss. Athletic plucked trills and cascading melodies performed on the loutar, contrast with swooping bowed lines and gentle pads played on ribab, a North African bowed lute instrument. Recorded onsite in Biougra, Morocco, Aziz’s playing pack nods to Maghrebi folk music while taking in contemporary influences of global pop, fusion and house.
