Nikola Nakhle is a very nice Lebanese oud player. He has a few CDs out. Good find Samir!

Great piece, I would be happy if somebody could tell me the name of it. It could maybe have been better without this cabaret-like cheap dancer, so
that the camera could only focus on the oud.. This music deserve more than futile seduction and unmodest dancing..

I see your point Benjamin, but I would argue that the lovely dancer, no matter how dressed (she just may be a professional belly dancer in 'normal'
clothing for all we know, and belly dancing is considered a serious art ), adds a bit of energy and life to the music that is being played on the oud.
It is a great piece of music, played very well by Nikola indeed, but he is playing in a venue or stage-set that is made for dancing and everyone is
having a jolly good time. don't you think music and dancing go hand in hand? That's how this clip comes across to me. 
Does anyone know the name of this piece of music?

She isnt a pro dancer... and she isnt paid to dance.
she just felt like dancing for fun and to feel pretty in front of the cameras.
thats what women do.
anyways like matthew said the peice is a fun one that makes you want to dance.
its not a serious setting.
Plus its obvious that he is enjoying the girl who stood up to dance.

Here here Mat and Samir!
I agree with both of you. Music and dance go together and that lass--althought she is enjoying the music--did not appear to be anything even
approaching a professional ancer. Still, who said one needs to be a professional dancer to appreciate good music and move to it?
