Hi Jony! in Syria & Lebanon, you will not see so much buskers in streets.. Buskers is a new word I learned 8 months ago & it stands for "Street Musician", even though; Google have no translation for it! Anyway.. Playing music in the street is not something common in these two countries & you will only find it in some tourist areas, such as Jubail (Byblos in Lebanon for example), or Bab Touma (The Gate of Thomas in Damascus, Syria), you will find them playing Guitar & singing. You can tell that this trend is western, & guys who do it are Western-Stylish (copycat of the American style) if we can say so.. Still, in Beirut, Lebanon, you will find people playing non-western style on the Lute (Oud) on Al Rawsheh & Al Manarah near the sea.. You will find some buskers - as I've been told - in Cairo, Egypt playing together as a band (Similar to the Mariachi bands in Latin America). However, playing music on Lute (Oud) is a common thing to occur in private family or friends evenings. Lute (Oud) is the musical instrument of Middle East.. & you can find a cool example here on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN21Bd51Nbg Have a happy New Year Comrade! Best,

I once saw a talented musician who played drum, harmonica and ukulele at the same time. It's pretty rare to see someone played like that in Malaysia. I liked it, but everyone else don't bother take a glance on him.

Here in the U.S. there's a lot of street performers depending on where you go. If you go to New York there's a lot of them in the subways on the weekends because it's higher traffic. People make a lot of money that way! People will gather around and listen, and then give them a few dollars if they like what they play. It's really neat! A lot of different culture in cities like Manhattan, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Portland.
