So there are more songs on the stage because the songs are kind of the close up.
For a long time in the 1970s, I was experimenting to build musical instruments and use them. I did a lot of ethnic music studies and other things, like electronic music. Making homemade musical instruments and performing was my major activity from the time.
Growing up in the Libya of the 1970s, I remember the prevalence of local bands who were as much influenced by Arabic musical traditions as by the Rolling Stones or the Beatles.

In history, in most cultures, and at most points in time, if you want to find the most advanced technologies, you can look principally in two places.
