Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we'll ask a trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the subject "March Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways@si.edu by April 1st, and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free CD of his or her choice!
March Question: The rubâb, a lute featuring a combination of melody, drone, and sympathetic strings, is prominently featured in the music from what country? Hint — Homayun Sakhi plays rubâb on three volumes of the Music of Central Asia Series.
Congratulations to last month's winner, Dru, from Seattle, WA, who correctly answered "Pink Floyd, derived from Pink Anderson and Floyd Council" to February's question: Which famous rock group created their name by combining the names of two bluesmen, one of whom (Pink Anderson) sings "You Don't Know My Mind" on the new album Classic Appalachian Blues from Smithsonian Folkways?
