Perfect for wandering travelers in the Saharan desert. Small, lightweight, easy to wrap up and pack. Easy to pull out and serenade the camels. Actually a lovely sound. This person played it well, smooth and lamguid, soothing after a hard, hot day traveling across the endless expanse.

[@hyyjij]

Misirlou is actually a song about an Egyptian girl originally

[@trueaussie9230]

@@hyyjij Not only 'originally'. The lyrics (which most of today's generation don't even know exist) are still about an Egyptian girl - and 'forbidden love'.

[@philipmccrackeniii4575]

@@trueaussie9230 Well that’s what I meant, people talk about Dick Dale’s version which has no lyrics

I remember dancing the Miserlou and enjoying it. I don't remember the steps anymore, its been a long time. Nice to hear the tune again.

its literally nothing like a koto lmao

[@stephensmith799]

Fantastic instrument. Shows that authentic innovation can happen anywhere at any moment. Someone somewhere, some time understood possibilities for the first time… respect👍

[@robkunkel8833]

A guy posts something stupid with 13 equally stupid replies but you get none. Let me join you in saying thank you to the producer-musician and how much this is NOT a sitar. A unique sound that seems prevalent the Biblical past. A thousand “thank yous, sir.”

[@stephensmith799]

⁠@@robkunkel8833nothing significant has happened to the electric guitar since Gibsons 335 of 1958. And yet here is authentic originality with great potential broadly ignored. BTW ‘Zero’ (0) was devised for the first time in India and then spread through international trade. The consequences of that small act of ingenuity defy estimation!

[@iesika7387]

This song was played on the Mulatar long before the guitar. Dick Dale borrowed the tune from a folk song. Surf rock was inspired by north african and middle eastern sounds.

Right? Thing looks incredible and such a good job performing!

[@RussellTeapot]

@@SuperMrHiggins I thought was some misterious ancient middle east instrument, turns out that its a modern instrument made by Lockruf music! Freaking awesome

[@mrs.g.9816]

Nice rendition! I never heard of a mulatar until now; it has a lovely sound. I remember learning to dance to this old Greek folk song with other girls in high school gym class way back in 1971.

[@breadmoneyarchival]

Surf music, except instead of riding the waves you’re riding a camel.

[@Charles37400]

Sand dunes can look alot like large waves

[@Sollys3]

Misirlou is actually an eastern mediterranean folk song to begin with. It's been camels from the beginning, Dick Dale took it and did a surf rock cover

[@SteveLeCanard]

@@Sollys3 I learned that a few months ago and it's just such a cool little piece of trivia.

Misirlou - a greatly under-appreciated tune. Well done. 👍👍👍

[@bebe7C9]

Underappreciated? It has like 5 consecutive remakes and people in general know the tune.

[@trueaussie9230]

@@bebe7C9 Yes! Greatly under-appreciated!! As evidenced by your comment. FYI - Since it appeared in the 1920s there have been considerably more than "like 5 consecutive (?) remakes". 'Recognising', 'knowing' and 'appreciating' are not synonymous.

[@Michael-n2p5w]

Significantly different from the first version I ever heard, which was by Dick Dale.

[@trueaussie9230]

@@Michael-n2p5w This is much closer to the first version I ever heard, recorded by Nikos Roubanis and releaseed under the Columbia label in the 1920s. The next version I heard was recorded by Harry James in the 1940s (if memory serves), also released under the Columbia label. I believe either Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman (maybe both) also released a version in the 1940s.

[@1mlister]

You could argue it is. Not many people know it's history as a greek/egyptian folk tune and that it has lyrics. I think about a greek/egyptian love story? Have you ever heard a version with lyrics? @@bebe7C9

i need a 10hr version of this

[@buddhastaxi666]

Sounds even better in a Rif Mountain valley beneath a full moon high on hashish with a seraphic choir as backing vocals.

[@yepiratesworkshop7997]

I thought the seraphs were on strike for higher royalty cuts.

[@buddhastaxi666]

@@yepiratesworkshop7997 Their song is always to glorify the Supreme Djinn, they only ever charge Kharma on the Evil and Unjust men, who would harass and chastise our Brethren. Those who are tone deaf, who sing out of key and those Frontmen with too much Ego create disharmony in the Song of Life, are passed over by The Seraphs when darkness falls, and unless repentant and subscribe to Music lessons, then they are cast out into the wilderness to screech with jackals and hungry ghosts.

I don't know how I ended up here, but this did send me down a rabbit hole. Now I know that rebetiko is a thing. And Misirlou is actually a Greek song.

[@ryanclark6402]

You just poked several bears. Much of the Med, North Africa, and even Near East might want to join this convo. Just saying; breathe deep… The origin of this melody is highly contested.

A Greek beautiful song!

[@remcodekluizenaar]

wow, love it, this songs reminds me both of 12 years of playing in a surfrock band to me from 2000-2012 (The Killer Bananazz, dutch band), having stopped pleasing drunk kids and getting home late at 3 am every weekend day and then continuing with music composing for film, theatre, podwalks, etc and for that collecting dozens of ethnic string and wind instruments. This is such a gorgeous sound, this 'mulatar', quite new to me, and so well-played, the relaxed pace and simple drumming gives it a really good mood. Great to hear you master 'the art of omission' as we tend to say in the netherlands, meaning you keep the essence of the song but play not a single note too many. Made my day. thanks

Interesting that the two strings an octave apart play in unison when you move the slides in unison, with a perfect 1:1 ratio. I would've thought that you'd have to move the higher octave slider significantly less to change the same number of steps in pitch.
