Hey folks, I just wanted to share this project that I've been involved in, it's a group doing the entire suite from Ziad Rahbani's 'Bil Afrah':

The video clips feature Michel Merhej, who was riq player on the original recording.

Who's on the Nay, she is solid!

Also lets not forget Brian Prunka on the oud, your playing is super sharp! how many times have you played this piece by now? :P

Oops, my bad, it's Bridget Robbins. And yes, of course, yours truly on the oud, thanks.
