Music of Iraq
Iraq
is known primarily for an instrument called the
oud
(similar to a
lute
) and a
rebab[?]
(similar to a
fiddle
); its stars include
Ahmed Mukhtar[?]
. Until the fall of
Saddam Hussein
, the most popular
radio station
was the
Voice of Youth[?]
. It played a mix of western
rock[?]
,
hip hop
and
pop music
, all of which had to be imported via
Jordan
due to international economic
sanctions
.
The Corrs[?]
and
Westlife[?]
are especially popular.
