ARGHUL, THE ARABIAN LOVE SONG
DEALERS: Please remember that
Melodies of Sentiment and Sympathy Sung in
the Streets of Cairo's Underworld
In Cairo the arghul is played at night in the
old city and on the streets of the underworld,
lending its note and interpretation to love songs
that somehow follow when everything else in
life has been lost or left behind. At an Arabian
cafe an old man from the street will play, and
>omig men sing, while the .coffee is being made.
The arghul sings with each and talks with each;
sympathizes, understands and seems so earn-
est as to make one half believe that the young
man is singing from his own heart and that
the arghul, long accustomed to such confidence,
knows it full well. But, like many of the coun-
try-bred, it seems to degenerate when it comes
to town. It falls upon evil ways; it sings of
love to the loveless; it hovers in the dark and
begs and steals about the low cafes. Its friend,
the tabla—more pretentious and perhaps more
astute—changes its name when it comes to town
snd does not appear alone at night in dark,
unfrequented streets. It is known as the dara-
bukeh and is seen in the high-class cafes, where
favorites dance to the music it brings. Tt has
more rhythm than melody; much volume, but
little feeling. It talks from the head and sings
to the feet. Hut the arghul is all sentiment and
sympathy. Its place is the desert; its home, we
knew as we listened there on the rugs in front
of our tents, is in the wastes of the sandy
plain ami the stillness of the starlit night.--
Robert Hamilton Uucker, in Asia.
