The tanbūra is a bowl lyre of the Middle East. It takes its name from the Persian tanbur via the Arabic tunbur (طنبور), though this term refers to long-necked lutes.[1] The instrument plays an important role in zār rituals.[1] The instrument probably originated in Upper Egypt and the Sudan [1] and is used in the Fann At-Tanbura in the Persian Gulf Arab states.
