After listening and enjoying the Arabic Takht ensemble in class, I searched on YouTube to see if I could find any similar songs.  I stumbled upon this example of a Takht that involves four people.  There are three people playing stringed instruments and one playing a drum.  The song is played at a fast tempo, which I find impressive and enjoyable.  Another aspect of the song that I enjoy is that it has a dance feel to the beat, which may not be an intended function of the song.  Additionally, while it seemed pretty formal, the way the four musicians are gathered and playing makes it seem as if they are gathered around the fire having a good time playing music.  This aspect of seemingly playing informal in a formal dressing manner, is something I really enjoyed about the song and video.
