Wow, I am impressed! I really like your style and you mix of different music genres! There are some "Sami Yusuf" vibes over it. Well done, I wish you the best in your work!

If you dont mind me asking - where are you from?

I liked very much the aesthetics of the clip. Young people singing in languages which seems not to be their mother tongues and dressed and playing traditional instruments with a modern pop taste, mostly in a sit down position on the floor.
It changes fm the usual clips and will certainly cause people asking themselves questions on origins, instruments, languages, meanings etc, and it is good that music causes people to become curious on the other.

I am originally from the states but i haven't live there for over ten years, i've been living now along with the rest of the group(which happens to be my family,hehehe) in indonesia for 8 yrs and before that in the Dominican republic. Anyways I love the oud (though my technique is very questionable) so i thought maybe there are some people here who could enjoy it... mustafa

Thanks pak guru, i need to get back to Malaysia some time, i did find someone that is teaching me about makams at least until i get back with you, this man is a very old man(80yrs) that has had many students that he is disappointed with so hopefully i wont do the same, he contacted me and like you didn't want any money just to teach what he's has been taught. i go to his house every morning after subuh and study for around 2 hrs, it is pretty amazing, what's more he is located 10 min from home, but he doesn't play as well as you:bowdown:
