few weeks from now we're gonna be able to listen to Yanni's latest group of albums "Yanni voices"
and I am sure they're gonna succeed as the previous albums.
But the question that I was asking my self the other night is what is gonna be next !
"Yanni voices" is a temporary project and Yanni, as he mentioned himself, is still considering making new instrumental music albums

So, I spent some time thinking what kind of instruments haven't Yanni used in his 13 albums and his concerts. What is the area of the world that Yanni haven't explored its taditional instruments yet. and I couldn't think of area other than the Middle East.
For those who don't know the Middle East is famous of two knid of instruments when it comes to music. the first one is called "Oud" and it is pretty close to the guitar (has a avier sound) and it is very famous in Syria, Turkey, Egypt, and Iraq
for more information:

I'd Like to hear your opinion.
If you think that Yanni should use other instruments from other cultures, please mantion them and where they belong to.
here is the music:

enjoy

and please give me your opinion should Yanni use the eastern intruments in his next instrumental music album or not
life is short.........enjoy it !
