    Thank you so much for making these videos. I would love to visit you some day, but you have to have at least one camel - because I love camels :)
    These videos are great research for a book I'm trying to write. Imagine that... A Norwegian viking writing a book about a girl and her camel in the desert. But something tells me that I have lived an earlier life in the desert, or at least, in an Arab country before.
    Salam Aleikum.

    This was the video I was wondering about. What was the name of the kamanche artist?

      Hi Zahara, this is a VIOLIN. Record & Mastering by RT Music Studio. So,
      there isn't a specific artist but a
      music composer.
