	Winds instruments, mizmar
		The term mizmar is derived from the Semitic root “mzr,” which means “to play”.
		Whether it is called zurna, mizmar, zamr, shenaï, or ghaïta, the traditional oboe, an ancient open air and war instrument emits its loud sonorities from the Maghreb to Asia.
		Imported in Egypt during the Ottoman period, it becomes the virtuoso instrument of Upper Egypt, thanks to the zoummarin, the specialists of this instrument settled in the village of Djarâdjôs near Luxor.

		Then the mizmar drops in with a hypnotic riff (the "snake charmer" sound popularized in film) and you'll keep an eye on the lid of that basket in the corner in spite of yourself.
		The drums and flutes (tabla, mizmar, and ney) are each accorded its own track, again to introduce the musicians and sound of their instruments.
		The high-pitched mizmar sounds a bit lonely on "Mizmar Jabali", as if it is calling for other instruments to come play with it (which they soon do -- who can ignore the mizmar for long?).

	Music Review: F'il Waha by Helm
		Some of the instruments used on this album are well-known among dancers: the mizmar, kanoun, and ney.
		Others, however, were new to me. As a result of listening to this collection and contacting Mark Bell of Helm with some questions, I learned that a kawala is a type of flute similar to the ney, and a zumara is a reed instrument.
		You have attended a dance workshop taught by John Compton and/or Rebaba and you'd like to have a copy of the music - some of their songs are on this album.

		The very nasal Mizmar opens this song, which gives way to the Didgeridoo, and then rejoins.
		I am not a huge fan of the Mizmar, it's not a sound that one hears in Western music, but it's perfect here, as a foil to the smoothness of the Kawala.
		And even with the traditional sound of the Mizmar, this has a "big" almost symphonic sound to it in parts.

		Another kind of mizmar that is being used recently is the double-mizmar or mijwiz.
		With two sharp sounds instead of one, a very interesting polyphonic melodies are usually played with this instrument, and of course, it doesn’t play a lot with the other instruments.

		So on to the review; LEVIATHAN: slow, creepy, cool drums keys etc. The first time I listened to this CD I thought it was lame (I musta been in a bad mood) but now it sounds pretty great if not a bit commercial sounding in some unexplainable way.
		Or mizmar (whatever that is), my 1981 dictionary doesn't have it.
		The press release says " the landscape of sound they inhabit features their inimitable blend of field recording loops, ethnic strings and winds, acoustic instruments, samples and electronics..." MIZMAR very snake charmy but cool, everything sounds good....
