Zukra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The zukra (or zokra or zoughara, Arabic: زكرة) is a Libyan bagpipe[1] with a double-chanter terminating in two cow horns; it is similar in construction to the Tunisian mizwad.

The instrument is played as a bagpipe in the south and west of Libya, but played by mouth without a bag (as a double clarinet) in the east.[2] The instrument is played at feasts, weddings, and funerals.[3]
