I found on a blog a small article On Playing the Oud in Iraq.
It is said: "Found an evocative article in the NYTimes about playing the oud, or arab lute, in Iraq, and the last of a musical lineage dating back hundreds of years. The musician is Salman Shukur, Iraq's last living traditional master of the oud."
Did anybody assist to the concert.??
Here is the phote

Hi zalzal

I think the concert you are referring to was in Iraq (Baghdad), although the article was in the NY Times. Here is a link to the article:
