The Mezoued
This stamp highlights the Mezoued, the king instrument of rural and urban popular music in Tunisia. This is a double chanter bagpipe made from a goatskin bag.
Mezoued is inseparable from neighborhood festivals and weddings. Much more than a simple instrument, it represents the soul of Tunisian popular culture and collective jubilation. Its powerful and nasal timbre is the sound signature of the catchy rhythms that make the country dance.
