Some great stuff and an "is that an oud?" question


I just recently discovered this guy on youtube. Looks like this and two other videos from the same set is all that he has out in the ether but it's worth checking out. His playing feels so utterly sincere. Jaber Fayad:

Also, this is a very cool rendition of Psalms 104 being sung in Hebrew by the Yamma ensemble. The first two minutes of oud are gorgeous:

Also, here is one of my absolute favorite songs from an incredible Valencian group called L'Ham de Foc (The Fishook of Fire). I'm pretty sure this is an oud throughout, but I'm not sure. I can't find any credits (and can't find the album booklet) Sounds like an oud though, yes?

Mood: Feeling Pretty G'Oud

I really like your above links, we have similar tastes!
I was just playing some of Jaber Fayad's Hijaz piece today on Oud. I often try mimicking players i like, and was playing him earlier today!
I also like this rendition of Psalm 104 by the Yamma ensemble. I wish they did more like this for all the psalms.

The last song sure sounds like an Oud. I think the player may be Eduard Iniesta.
This guy plays everything and anything it seems if you look at his instruments link here:

...but, to me it sure sounds like a beautifully played Oud.

You guys are right. Jaber Fayad is a natural. I think he will go far. Not too much on YouTube yet.
Player from Damascus.

Looking forward to seeing more material from him.

Wow, I am really amazed by Jaber Fayad's playing. Thank you for introducing him to us, licensetokrill !

Here is another video of him

It really feels like a mix between arabic and turkish playing.

The other recommendations are also awesome, you have a great taste !

Jaber Fayad is a very nice player. Happy to have discovered him.

The band L'ham de foc is leaded by Efren Lopez. He is the guy on the picture.
He is a very gifted multi instrumentist. Simply enter his name in Youtube and you will see...
He is in the "Ross Daly constellation" and gives every year some workshop in Labyrinthos in Creta.
