Oud scene from Alladin (2019)

Apart from all the stereotypical Arabic&Indian cultural aesthetic mixing in the remake of the Alladin movie, there was a really nice scene featuring the Oud. https://i.imgur.com/uEaAmoP.jpg Check out the pic, anyone want to venture a guess about some of the details of this instrument? I've uploaded the scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj9RhRQmRdM (its unlisted, don't copystrike me!) She plays it without a risha :/ I couldn't tell what she's playing when he says "My mother taught me that song", it's only 3 notes so maybe not real. Anyway, did anyone else see this remake?

I did see that. Pretty cool visually, probably got a few people to google it out of curiousity. But not exactly good in terms of oud music. The clip of Arnold "playing" on the other hand, is good stuff.

Yea, who is actually playing Oud in that Arnold clip?

You cannot beat the Terminator on the oud!
