Issam Rafea is the Oud player in the group. He's also on the head of the music institut in Damascus, syria. I had the chance to see the performance of
the 2005, september. Issam surprises me when I saw that he's using a guitar pick instead of a classical Oud Richa. Efficient in his hand as you will
see.
Enjoy
Aslo Joined a bayat D taqsim for Issam from the 2004 concert.
