Music of Middle East includes different musical styles and traditions that span across the region: Turkish, Coptic, Armenian, Persian, Azeri, Jewish, Arabic, Andalussian and Assyrian. Despite being in close proximity to Europe and European music, Middle Eastern music is strictly distinguished from Western tradition as it does not employ chords nor harmony. String instruments like oud, saz, qanoun and violin; percussion instruments like riq, tambourine and darbuka; wind instruments like duduk, rhaita, kaval, mey and ney are widely used in Middle Eastern music, giving it its unique, mystic feel.
