Music of the SudanModern Sudanese music is mostly based on haqibah, which arose in the early 1920s. A tambourine-like instrument called the riq is played by the lead singer alongside three or more back-up singers. Pianos, triangle, qanum and cymbals were soon added. Haqibah is centered around the city of Omdurman.The two most important haqibah musicians are Sarour and Karoma.
