kugo: Tomoko Sugawara
arranged by Stephen Dydo
The Kugo (Angular harp), with an L-shaped body, arose in Mesopotamia around 1900 BCE. It soon spread to other regions of the Near East, eventually becoming a favorite instrument in local Islamic cultures where it survived until 1700 CE. Meanwhile, it entered the Silk Road and reached China around 500CE. Korea and Japan came next, but it disappeared from the Far East by 1100. Egypt adopted it 1400 BCE. Wherever it went, artists, poets, and musicians loved its beautiful shape and admired its complex sound.
