The rubab (UK: /rʊˈbæb/, US: /rʊˈbɑːb/) or robab[a] is a lute-like musical instrument[1] of Central Asian origin. It is the national musical instrument of Afghanistan and is also commonly played in India and Pakistan, mostly by Balochis and Kashmiris,[2] and Punjabis.
Variants of the rubab include the Kabuli rebab of Afghanistan, the Uyghur rawap of Xinjiang, the Pamiri rubab of Tajikistan, and the North Indian seni rebab.[3] The instrument and its variants spread throughout West, Central, South and Southeast Asia.[4]
The Kabuli rebab from Afghanistan[1] derives its name from the Arabic rebab and is played with a bow while in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent, the instrument is plucked and is distinctly different in construction.[3]
