Hey guys..

I came across a youtube video for the famous sama'i Shad Araban. However there is no mention to who the player is. Does anyone know who this player is?

The oud sounds identical to the oud in this video from suggested videos. Assuming the same player, Benjamin Weil is the name given. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0SUjrNpQuI

That's it.. you nailed it. They really should have credited him. I will mention his name in the comments :)

Hey Bulerias,

I added a comment with the link to the original. Let's see if it stays up. I remember seeing the original video 6 years ago! You can still see my original comments in the comments section. I remember being blown away by his performance. Seems like the right thing to give him credit for his playing. Thanks for bringing this video up again.
