I am:wavey: trying to learn the introduction of " ana fi intizarek" by oum kaltsoum, but I cannot determine the maqam in the original, it would be nice if anyone can help, thanks to all, Martino:wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey:

Hello Martino,

" ana fi intizarek" is Hijaz (D).

Hi, david
thanks one million times, I thought first it was perhaps "HIJAZ", then I hesitated between USHAIRANE and NAHAWAND, the recordind was not very good, but I almost got it, if you can do s/th about the music sheet, it would be great, you or s/one else, I am prepared to pay for it, regards:wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey:

Your welcome martino, you're in the right place to ask and share about oud and Arab music :)

Hi Reda, cool your website :cool:

thanks, reda, you are a great guy, I have seen your website. I also have a BSc degree in Electrical Eng from Westminster University, London, I bought my first oud in 2004, and started realy in 2006, so many similarities, but I am sure you are more advanced than I, thanks again for the music sheet of Oum Kaltsoum, warm regards, martino
