Gipsy Oud ! Not for traditionalists

Hello

I love gipsy jazz music and for my first cloning cover I played "Bistro fada", a soundtrack of a Woody allen's movie (Midnight in Paris).

Not easy to play gipsy style on oud but it works :)

I do this one on guitar, never tried it on oud. Cool! I play a lot of gypsy jazz, quite a few tunes work pretty well on the oud.

Thank you Navid and Jason.
First time i heard this fusion was with Oudside, a brittany band :

They shared a nice Caravan version on youtube. But generally, oud play the doublebass part.
If you play other gipsy song with oud, please share it ;)
