Thanks Katakofka
What an amazing player, brilliant risha technique, very similar to oud in the wrist but obviously haeld quite differently. Love the music, I find
this part of the world really intriguing, not just because of past familly history but also the cultural circles that overlap the 'official' country
boundaries.
It seems to produce very vibrant, inventive and passionate cultural expressions.
I'll keep looking
