As an accompanying instrument, the qanun can add subtle melodic phrasing or even lead. With its distinct tones and microtones, you can here the exotic eastern sound.
The history of the qanun goes back to around to the 10th century, perhaps evolving from the Egyptian harp and is often considered to be Arab although many variations exist throughout the middle east.
For even more authentic vibes, try adding the Oriental Ney or Desert Oud, with some Arabic percussion in the Hamsa bundles.
