Jordanian oud virtuoso

oudmad - 11-24-2006 at 09:18 AM

Recently, a video link of a Jordanian oud virtuoso being interviewed on Arab-American TV was posted. I was quite impressed with the video quality and the outstanding skill and feelings of the player, but for some reason, lost the file link and cannot seem to find it in this website (forgot the name also). Can anyone help provide the link? Thanks.

I had a chance to take an oud class with Sahkar Hatter when I was Amman a couple of summers ago. At the time he was the coordinator for the classical music institute in Jordan. He is dedicated to promotimg the great Arabic classical music tradition. He also had, at the time, a beautiful community choir. Anyone has a chance do hear him play or study with him, I would highly recommend it.
