We're still peeling off the top soil of
the square I'm working in, still digging until we do not see roots.
We found more large animal bones so that was an interesting site to
see. The best part of the day was going to Yousef's shop. I planned
to have an interview/house visit with some local musicians however it
fell through. We decided to go to Yousef's shop instead and it turned
out to be a great idea because I enjoyed conversation with him and I
also got his help with my ethnography project. I asked him a few
questions and found out some interesting details relating to Arabic
music, and also music in Madaba specifically. He directed us to a
music store that had an extensive collection, where I purchased two
CDs.
Holding Al-Rababa at Yousef's Shop. It is one of the oldest instruments in Middle Eastern culture.
