Hard rock and Oud - New song from Zini

FilipHolm - 7-5-2016 at 03:23 PM

Hello.
I am part of a music project/group/band called Zini. We try to mix traditional forms of music and instruments from around the world with more modrrn genres like Rock and pop.

We release our debut album later this year and put out a new song from it last weekend.
It is a fairly heavy rock song but features the Oud, an Armenian Duduk and some Darbuka.
It may not be the most conventional way of using the instrument, and the rest of the album has more Oud-orienred songs, but it is a fun experiment none the less.

Here is a link to the music video:

It is also available on Spotify:

I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Filip,
me, as a non-traditionalist, enjoyed it very much!!:applause:

Keep up your work and keep on sharing it.

Greets,
Marcus

Hi Filip, I really really liked this fusion of hard rock and middle-eastern instruments. It's the sort of sound that I really like. I'd like to buy your album! :) When is the release date?

Hi Filip. Very good indeed, great track. We need more of this inclusion of the Oud in western music. Bravo.

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for the nice words.
