I posted a video from the International Oud Festival, Jerusalem 2005 of Taiseer Elias (professor, oud&violin player)and his ensemble performing
longa riyad.
Their section of the concert was a tribute to Riyad el Sunbati.

that's certainly a good speed Taiseer and the lads are playing it at, and that qanun player is keeping up nicely!
I noticed another version listed up in youtube, 4 ( corrected) lovely ladies who do a really cool version of Longa Riyad( and also are better
looking!
)

Actually there are 4 lovely girls, don't forger the one on the piano (which looks younger)..
Yes Taiseer is great, and I'm lucky to study in his academy in Jerusalem ;-)
