When you listen to Joseph Tawadros play, it's easy to forget that he is still a very young man (he's 24).
But even at 17 he was no less astounding. Take a look at these clips:

And here is the session five years later (2006 in Adelaide) where he first discovered the magic of the Türünz sound on a borrowed Faruk Türünz
Turkish oud.

Enjoy!

watching that clip of JT as a 17 yr old, what struck me was his excellent risha technique, thanks to the angle of the camera.
