What is Genbri and where it came from ?
The Guembri, Gembri, Gambri, Guember, Gumbri or Genbri is a plucked string musical instrument of the Gnaouas ("Guineans" in English). It is mainly found in North Africa in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Mali where it was brought by the Gnaouas, descendants of slaves from Guinea. It is also played by the Tuaregs and the Berbers .It is a derivative of the African n'goni.
Genbri making:
The Guembri is formed by a large Wooden box . Once it has been hollowed and polished a Camel skin is stretched and nailed to the wooden part making the soundbox of the instrument. At this point, a whole is made on one top of the soundbox and a cylindrical mast is inserted inside the body of the instrument. On the other bottom of the skin, a hole is cut in order to allow the sound to scape. Three strings -made out of Goat bowel and resin- are tied onto one of the extremes of the mast, that will coincide with the skin hole, meanwhile, in the other extreme, two strings are attached to the mast throw a system of tuning pegs, the third string -usually the middle one- is also embedded to a tuning pet but, this time, half the distance from the end of the mast to the beginning of the soundboard giving to it a higher pitch.
