Here are two traditional instruments played in the Sudan: the Sudanese Lyre and the drum, the tar, played by the cross-cultural Otaak band. The tar is demonstrated on this link by Hamza el Din.
Many of the Sudanese traditional songs use pentatonic scales. The Db major pentatonic scale is featured on two other examples: a women's wedding song, the popular song Luluwe, and the F# minor pentatonic features in the violin, drum and keyboard accompanied song here.
Both these instruments also feature in this traditional song and dance. The scale used here is a pentatonic using the notes F F# Bb C C#.
