New oud from Husseyn Sabsaby + VIDEO UPDATE

Freshly received

It has been a pleasure exchanging with Huseyn. He is a great and trustful person.
I'm very happy with the oud he made me, so just wanted to share pictures of it and a short record.

Regards !

Hello,
some asked me a video of this oud, to get another kind of recording of the sound.
So here is a piece I catched once. Unfortunately I cannot remind the composer. If anyone can tell me who wrote this piece, i would be grateful.
Best

Come on !

3anjad khaye, he plays with lots of feeling. Ok maybe top 10
I am curious to see who would be the top 5 oud players alive that you enjoy listening to most.

Maybe we should do a thread where everyone shares their top 5 oud players still alive. Perhaps i havent heard about some of your favorites.

No offense to anybody, especially not to Samir or to Husain Sabsaby, whom I met for a week stay in Amman, and respect very much.
I don't like to sound fanatic or sectarian, but I can think of some Palestinian virtuosos: Simon, Taiseer, Kameel, Ahmad, Nizar, Adel, Jubran (2-3) etc. before we get to mention the great players of Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Gulf countries, Yemen, and so on.
To be named among the top 5 in the world, one should be mighty Samson

Therefore I wondered !

On the other hand I don't believe in competition in music. Every player, as modest as his playing might be, has his own feelings and language that others don't. Music is made to be played together, not to be a rivalry issue.

Thank you Samir

Yours indeed
Alfaraby

I agree with this, and in that same spirit a player might make you go wild with his playing and not do much for me and viseversa.

In no particular order my favorite players these days are:
Simon Shaheen
Charbel Rouhana
Abood Khawaja
Nazeeh Aborrish
Yildiran Guz

Hi!

I don't understand you Alfarabi.
First you get because Hussain Sabsaby was one of Samircanad 's top players..
And then you make a list of your favarits from Palastine (and I cannot see why you think some of them are better then Sabsaby!)..
And then you say that you don't like competition in music...

What do you really want to say?

Anyway.. my top players AS FOR NOW are:

Anouar brahem
Mohammad abou Zikri
Ahmad alkhatib
Charbel Rouhana
And (always) Jamil Bashir

I hate this but I must.

Luttgutt:
What is that you didn't manage to understand ?
Where have you read that my listed players are better than anyone else.
Samir was "curious to see who would be the top 5 oud players alive that you enjoy listening to most";
So I mentioned only some of whom I like and enjoy most.
I didn't say they are the best. I didn't say they're better than whosever. You're putting words I didn't write in my post. So please ...
Second, can't one simply shrug when reading something he does not totally agree with ? I wonder ! Why should I be silenced ?

David:

I feel offended, though I didn't commit the slightest misdemeanor !
It seems, once more, that war needs only one party. It does not even have to be "justified".
You didn't read my post at all. Therefore this wasn't a right thing to say. Was this real life, I'd call it slander and libel, act accordingly & won't use "backpedals ". I do believe in what I say and know how to express it and stand for. Thank you for the advice. Nevertheless, I respect others' point of view and don't offend people with no reason, like you've done. If my opinion hearts anyone, I'd prefer to withdraw from the whole forum, rather than call others names, like some very respectful fellow members have done here in the past !
In real life, I fight all the day long, so I don't need another ring & don't drag me to what I'm not here for. The most to be injured at last is the artist under the discussion, whom I tried my best to spare.

From now on I shall be much careful and not express any prefferences of mine, not even a

I feel very sorry for all this and won't come back to this thread anymore.

What a pity

Yours indeed
Alfaraby

I think the name that Jack listed in Arabic script would be transliterated as "Amal Ahmad Mina," though I'm not familiar with this player myself and couldn't find any info since I don't have a Facebook account. Can you offer us any audio or video clips of her playing, Jack?

Thanks, Jack! Some really enjoyable playing there. I'm almost inspired to join Facebook. Almost.

VERY DARK SCREEN COLORS HARD TO READ
