Unique style of Mohamed Abozekry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOpRk4yT3rg#t=696
I love this piece of music! Im sure the purists will hate, thats fine, and I usually don't fall for 'fusion' (or whatever this is- contemporary?) and
stick to the old ways of taqsim but this really struck me. Anyone familiar with Bela Fleck? He reminds me of him, not anything specific - just the
sense of innovation, blending of old/new styles, and jaw-dropping talent. A bit of 'playing with time' and use of jolting, high energy phrases really
works my attention in a good way. You can tell he's totally lost in his world too, I love that.
And man that oud he's playing is beautiful, any info about it? I like the higher course there, and the strings going all the way back.

Amazing work! I did not expect to get a reply from the maker himself, this place is awesome.

Hello,
oh there is a misunderstanding. The video you posted is not played with an aoud from me. It is somewhere from Cairo. Only the instrument in the video
I mentioned is from me.
