Al Hiyani Group
The rhaita or ghaita is a double reed instrument from Northern Africa.
It is one of the primary instruments used by the Master Musicians of Jajouka and Master Musicians of Joujouka, two traditional music ensembles from Morocco.
The rhaita
was also featured in the three Lord of the Rings soundtracks by Howard
Shore, specifically in the Mordor theme. American composer John
Corigliano calls one of the movements of his 1975 Concerto for Oboe and
Orchestra “Rhaita Dance,” asking the oboist to imitate a rhaita by pushing the reed further into his or her mouth.
Listen to Al Hiyani Group performing Rhaita nicely.
