Anyone know of any recordings available by Rawhi Khammash?

You have plenty on youtube. Make a search with arabic typing " روحي الخماش "

Naseer Shamma have played some, for exemple this samai:

Thanks. What I am really after though are any true recordings of him playing. Any such thing as an old record perhaps?

Dear Jack
here is another link with al khammash himself playing his hijaz kar kurd Samai

It may not be the best recording but it still gives the flavour of this great musician
the Greco-Egyptian

Hi Marcus,
Thanks. Yes, I've seen that already. It is the video which made me seek some higher quality recordings.
