Pictured is a smiling Moroccan street musician playing the sintir on a street in the Marrakesh Souk bordering the Jemaa el-Fnaa Square and Market. The sintir, also known as the guembri, is a three stringed skin-covered bass plucked lute used by the Gnawa people. It is approximately the size of a guitar, with a body carved from a log and covered on the playing side with camel skin. The Gnawa are an ethnic group inhabiting Morocco.
