who are master oud players?
Hello Everybody,
I don't play oud yet, but I am working toward buying one. At the moment I'm trying to discover as much as I can about the instrument, the music and
the cultures.
I've loved Oud music for a long time without knowing what I'm listening to. Now, I want to learn the names and traditions of oud music.
I would like to ask you all, if you had to choose some essential players of oud, who would they be? Who do you think are the great masters of the
oud?
I think this forum is great, I've learnt a lot from here already, and I've only just begun on this great journey of oud.
I look forward to your suggestions,
Joseph

Welcome to the forum al oskarku!
As fhalaw says, lots and lots of good names to listen to!
It has a lot to do with the personal taste and the style ou like.
My all time top two favorites are:
1-Jamil Bashir (the brother of Monir Bashir)
2- Anouar Brahem.
But none of the two can be classified as "traditional" player.
Some good traditional style players:
1- Asabji
2- Farid
3- Sombati (I newly discocerd his oud style, thanks to this forum)
And of course as fhalaw says, the young Ahmad Al Khatib.
And yes, many many others (luckily : )
p.s. Here, I restricted the list to arabic style (not turkish).
Good luck on your quest

Check out Salim Al Maqrashi. He's considered the best in Oman. He doesn't have a highly accessible album that I'm aware of, but his work is great. You
should find him on YouTube and if not let me know and I can try posting some of his recordings that I have.
Also, you can find a whole world of oud recordings on oudstouch.tumblr.com The site manager has posted hundreds of oud songs with their album covers,
player names, etc. It's a really great site for finding new players.

There are 6 tracks by Salim Al Maqrashi at the start of the first CD of the four-CD set "Al Tarab - Muscat Oud Festival" - see here:

I completely agree.
There is highly recommandable CD of Roman Bunka with Luis Borda and Jost Hecker at the cello.
