Oud and litterature's performances. New trend ??
I have noticed more and more performances where an oudist and a writter perform together.
For ex i posted a while ago a radio link to Darwish and Joubran.
Also last wednesday in the south of France at Manosque Claude Barthélemy (ex-boss for the 'Orchestre national de jazz') performed with an oud
together with writer Yann Apperry ( I did not see it, not even knew either Barthelemy nor Aperry So can not tell any thing.)
And there must be a lot of performances elsewhere.
These are kind of "litterary concerts";
It is something which artistic concept can be developped;
It can be a real performance by itself; not a concert, not a poetry recital, not singing, not even reading classically and dramatically a poem, not
either an hybrid, but a defined artistic performance with own technical characteristics.
I think this is an open field which everybody can explore and everybody can make his/her in order to create art collectively.
Imagine, how could it change the flow of yr taqsims if you performed with a poetry reader and vice versa, whether simultaneously or not.
Two voices, whose tones are already so near each one, dancing together to put audience in harmony with themselves and their environment....isn,t it
great??.

Un example des relations intrinséques du oud avec la litterature:
Bahaa Jahine, poète egyptien, explore un épisode de sa vie, où à l’âge de 3 ans, il se réveille à l’aube sur la vibration du « oud »
sous le toucher de Sayed Mekkawi, qui résonne dans son être, exerçant sur lui une attirance irrémédiable pour l’art et lui offrant à ce stade
un plaisir et un trouble. Dès lors, comment renoncer à la quête de la concrétisation de cette affinité pour l’art ? Bientôt, l’heure, où se
déclenche sa passion pour la poésie, sonne.
C'est ainsi qu'il est devenu écrivain, à l'appelle du son du oud.
Il prépare actuellement un spectacle lyrique en hommage à l’œuvre du chanteur-compositeur Mohamad Fawzi, qui inaugurera le prochain Festival de
la musique arabe.

I'm not sure if it's a new trend - when I had my weekly at Victoria's in Istanbul, almost every other week a poet, actor, or other poetry enthusiast
would often (after some raki consumption) spontaneously erupt into pre-written or improvised poetry. When the mood was right, sometimes we'd back and
forth between oud taksims and poetry. It was a way Turks, Kurds, and Zazas used to show appreciation for the good company that evening, as well as an
art... One of my fondest memories of playing there, in fact!
