  • "Tal-Grixti" a Family of Żaqq and Tanbur Musicians
    "TAL-GRIXTI" A FAMILY OF ŻAQQ AND TANBUR MUSICIANS Anna Borg Cardona, B.A., L.T.C.L. On his visit to Malta, George Percy Badger (1838) observed that Unative musical instruments", were "getting into disuse" (1). Amongst these was the Maltese bagpipe known as żaqq'. A hundred years later, the żaqq was stil1 in use, but evidently still considered to be waning. By the end of the first half of the twentieth century, the few remaining żaqq musicians were scattered around the isla:nd of Ma1ta in Naxxar, Mosta, Siġġiewi, Dingli, Żurrieq, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Marsa, Mellieħ.a and also on the sister island of Gozo, in Rabat. By the time Partridge and Jeal (2) investigated the situation between 1971 and 1973, they found a total of9living players in Malta and none in Gozo. Now the instrument is no longer played and may be considered virtually extinct. Zaqq players up to the early part of the twentieth century used to perform in the streets and in coffee or wine bars. They would often venture forth to nearby villages, making melodious music to the accompaniment of percussive instruments such as tambourine (tanbur) or fiiction drum (rabbaba, żuvżaJa). It was also not uncommon to witness a group of dancers c10sely followingthe musicians and contorting to their rhythms. This music came to be expected especially a.round Christmas time, Feast days (Festi) and Camival time. The few musicians known as żaqq players tended to pass theit knowledge on from generation to generation, in the same way as other arts, crafts and trades were handed down.
