Absolutely love this performance. I'm really enjoying this simple yet skilful and atmospheric combination of oud + frame drum at the moment. I came across these two albums which I really like which are performances of the two instruments:

Saif Al-Khayyat, Nora Thiele - Babylonian Dreams
Shahram Gholami - Euphoria

Any more albums/videos people can recommend would be great.

During the last years I have seen this video hundreds of times!
They are both amazing and the composition is very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Lysander :wavey:
I love the combination of oud+famedrum too.
Unfortunately there is no famedrummer to find near my hometown.
My favourite duo is chris wabich - tuned frame drums and
dimitris mahlis - oud
toghether they are Wahid

Enjoy,

Marcus

Thank you for the recommendation Marcus. I am now listening to Synopsis by Wahid. Really good sound so far. Thank you for introducing me.
