One more I found while digging around sama3y. George Michel probably in his younger days as part of an ensemble with a singer named Abas El Balady. The oud taqsim has been posted on youtube before but there's some nice violin and qanun work too. Unfortunately I find the songs to be pretty bland but that's all subjective anyway.

Great thread!
George Michel is a legend.

Does anyone happen to have George Michel's longa farahfaza? I have looked for a while but haven't had any luck.

ameer - 4-17-2012 at 06:51 AM

Didn't know he had one. Are you sure you're not refering to Sunbati's?

londonoudi - 4-17-2012 at 05:36 PM

No definitely not Sunbati's Longa.

I was told it was George Michel but I have never heard it played by him.

It goes like this: sol re sol si, si sol si re...

ameer - 4-17-2012 at 05:45 PM

Doesn't sound familiar, but most of his compositions aren't available in recording form for whatever reason. Eventually someone may dig it up.

londonoudi - 4-17-2012 at 06:00 PM

I did a find a youtube video of someone playing it. You are right... it is a shame we just dont have more of his stuff available.
