Finally some Iraqi virtuosity and played on a Foad Jihad Bashir oud.
He's a typical product of the present dominating school of Shamma and it makes me wonder what happened with the Bashir school and really, were
there any school with an ¨authentic expression¨ of Bashir?
Best wishes

Bashir School
I'm no oud expert, but I'm an avid fan of this instrument and have been hearing lots of players over many years. I agree with Ronny. The
Bashir style of playing remains, at least to me, the only style that induces a state of Tarab(ecstacy). this is fast disapearing. Omar Bashir
continues to stick, most of the time, to his father's school of playing. I love Shamma's music, but I do hope somebody continues of the
traditional Iraqi style.
I'd love to hear comments from the more experienced members.

2 Qs
1) Does Omar Bashir take his father step to continue teaching the true Iraqi style of playing Oud?
2) Is there any Oud School provided such classes regarding the first Qs?

I don't think he take students but you have to ask him.

Actually, how many have a risha technique as Bashir? I dare to say that the Bashir school is non existing. |

I had a opportunity to meet briefly with Ghassan Bashir (he uses the name Bashir to honor his teacher) Ghassan studied with Munir Bashir for quite a
while. He told me that Munir was very protective/secretive of his risha technique. It was almost impossible to get any instruction on it. Ghassan had
some very funny stories about grabbing a risha that had fallen on the floor just so he could examine it. From my brief time with Ghassan I must say
that his risha technique is almost identical to Munir's, at least his sound is identical - very subtle risha work indeed! My observation of
Ghassan's technique was that he uses a very narrow, VERY flexible eagle risha with an almost flat wrist. He gets a very clean articulated sound
from very subtle wrist movement - no wild swinging - I've tried but, for the life of me, I can't even begin to see how he does it!
Ghassan now lives in southern California (in Anaheim I believe) and he is offering instruction in perhaps the only remaining expression of
Munir's technique.
Perhaps Ghassan can post here with more insight!
