Well it's all in french, so if anybody needs any detail on translation pls ask, I have not go through it, lack of time and shame on me, but pls ask,
either me or any other francophone here will help.
Btw i mailed the owner of blog and he replied that he is preparing a detailed note on kwitra, the algerian oud commonly used in araboandalousian music
and most probably the nearest instrument to what Zyriab could have used in Al Andalus.
Tahya al Djazair wa tahya Zyriab !!!!
