THE INTERNATIONAL OUD FESTIVAL IN OMAN


Hi oud lovers,

I have been watching this great oud gathering, its awesome oud players from all over the world gathered from the 3rd of December, live oud playing and workshops which I've sadlly missed due to time difference, I hope one of the forum members was there to tell us more.. I've managed to video tape most of the live sessions and I will try and load some up.

Last night was Nasser Shamma and he was great as ever, today is the last day of the festival I can't waite to see and I will tape as well

Best regards

Awad

Hi guys,

I'll try and load some of the videos I've got hopefuly on the weekend as I have to convert them from VHS,

Hi Fyenix, Osman Yurdal was amazing on the night, great oudist I kept replaying his music again and again, the Turkish oud he played was awesome loud and clear, I liked the guy very much and I will upload his video of that night best regards if you see him, I expected something new from Naseer Shama though.
The event was great but greatly Abadi Aljohar was missed, and I think that was due to the recent passing of his wife.

cheers,

Awad

Hi Fyenix, yes my wife taped that for me ( the interview), but I've been busy since and didn't have the chance to see it, I'll do this weekend and hopefuly load some of the video's, man I remember now I saw you sitting in the front and I think you had a video camera if am not mistaken and if thats correct you may be able to load the files faster than me as I have to conver them first from VHS.

by the way madam Gulcin was fantastic too,

best regards all,

Awad

Hi stringmanca,

I was too looking to see if I can find DVD's for the two events, I emailed the Sultanate of Oman tv to find out but so far no reply from them I'll try them again and will try other resources,

Cheers

hi abusin, yeah i do managed to capture the whole thing though im not sitting at the front row. im using mini dv and will transfer all of them into my hard drive soon for editing, it would take sometimes though. the one shown on tv are way better than my one as the organizer was using 3 stationary cameras plus 1 moving overhead camera. it was shown on the national television after the performance daily and it was nicely edited! the event was not under the sultante of oman tv but it is under the ministery of information.
