I found this excellent clip from a piece of music that has an oud player in it... my question to you is, do you know the piece of music and/or the
player?
Good luck!

I am going to guess its Mohammad El Qassabji from an Om Kolthum song? (Even though I have a feeling it may be the oudist that replaced him after his
death in 63 or 64). Am I wrong or am I wronger??oudman - 11-23-2003 at 08:36 AM
its from oum kalthoums es'al rouhak. its definitely not qassabji, its his replacement. i forgot his name, but i have it somewhere.
how about this one...its from asmahans song hadeeth aynayn - i dont know who the oud player is. anybody???elrabee3 - 11-23-2003 at 12:54 PM

well, this song is composed by Ryad el sunbati, so my guess he was the oud player in that songTruePharaoh21 - 11-23-2003 at 03:31 PM
Well, I can tell you that the song was Es'al Rohak. But the player is not el Qasabji. Any other guesses?

OK sang that song after el qasbji passed away. and u can tell that wasnt el qasbji style. IMO, el qasabji style was too close to Farido, i mean both
of them are hitting the strings on the same way, very stong and clear sound.samzayed - 11-24-2003 at 12:35 AM
My first guess was wrong . . since she sang this song in 1970, Al Qassabji couldn't have been the oud player.
Even though this song was done by Al Muji, I think it still may be by the oudist that replaced Al Qassabji. I have a biography on OK, and I'll
check and let you guys know . . .
BTW, I am really impressed with some of the observations made her on this thread. You guys really take this seriously. Keep it up, I thought the
love for this art was dead . .oudman - 11-24-2003 at 04:06 AM
even though hadeeth aynayn was composed by Sunbati, i dont think sunbati is playing that taqasim, it doesnt sound like his style at all.TruePharaoh21 - 11-24-2003 at 08:31 AM
These are all very good guesses, guys. I hope you all don't give up and just make me answer it myself. Keep the guesses rollin in.

Hey guys. It's been about 6 months now since anyone last saw this post. No one figured out who the oud player was? The clip was from Es'al
Rohak, by the way.

Do you mind post the song one more time?TruePharaoh21 - 5-14-2004 at 09:53 AM
Unfortunately, I don't have the clip with just him playing his 1 minute solo. The whole song, though, can be streamed from the Om Kolthoum site
at http://www.omkolthoum.com
The solo is after a minute or so, so you don't have to wait too long.

Hey guys,
So I never got to tell you all who the player is! His name is Abdel Fatah Sabry. Apparently, there was a contest for the spot of being Om Kolthoum's
oudist, and the top two players were Abdel Fatah Sabry and George Michel, and Sabry won it out.
Keep the guesses rollin in.
