The riqq is a thousand-year-old instrument that is widespread throughout the Middle East and is part of the frame drum family. In its traditional form, we find it with fish skin and a wooden frame, but at the end of the 20th century, the instrument had grown in popularity throughout the world and we find today many modern versions of the instrument that allows a diversified game. The riqq is both an accompanying instrument, as well as a solo instrument that can demonstrate great versatility and virtuosity.
