Very interesting videos of Abady showing a tour of his private studio, talking about his memorabilia and ouds. Fine collection of unique Shehatas for all you Shehata fans ;)

This guys gets very emontional when it comes to his ouds, and music; he's one sensitive musician.

Hi Melbourne,

If you are referring to the oud he kissed, the emotion is because that was Talal el Maddah's oud and it was given to Abadi by Talal's wife, after he had passed away.

Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg

Yes, there is that particular scene, but also in general, there is a lot of emotion in his tone of voice, when referring to certain thing around his studio like family portraits etc. I reckon its fantastic, and definitely reflects in his music :)

Regards,

Sam

Hi Melbourne- the top video clip says 'removed by the user' so I couldn't view that one. The other clip was very nice. What a nice collection of ouds, though I'm not sure I'd have one with my own picture on the back of the bowl!;)
