Check out a new video on the Video Page. Thanks to Saad in Jordan for providing me with this video clip. I'm not sure, but the oud looks like a Farouk Shehata. What do you think Mavro? Kinda looks like the one you had.

Enjoy!

Hey Mike,

Yeah, it's very similar to some Farouks we saw in Cairo. I think the very curvy pegbox makes it almost 99% a Farouk Shehata in my mind. The sound is really beautiful, and of course Abadi plays beautifully. I love his playing, and it's great that there are recordings of him on so many different instruments. It's like hearing different people speaking with the same point of view, just slightly different voices. :)

Take care,

mav

Mood: Loving the Oud

Wow, I really liked this recording... 3:02-3:07... took a Farido part and just totally made it his own... such a cool technique there... the way he plays 3:20-3:22, there's so much feeling there. The 3 identical parts that follow it are good, but that first one from 3:20-3:22 takes the cake. 0:24-0:27 is another great part. 1:23 is awesome. There's amazing feeling in that second. 1:54-2:00... another favorite... 2:53-2:59... what a closing!

I really like it when he plays like this. Awesome, just purely awesome.

Thanks Bin Ayoub! This is great stuff. It's so great that players like Abadi don't just give us great playing, but "remind" people about the oud and how beautiful it is. :)

Take care,

mav

thanks alot mike and saad (btw, where are u saad, we all miss ur posts and taqaseem)

small correction, the file that u posted mike (send by saad) is from his concert from Can not Paris in 1994. he particpated in art music festival which took part in Can then Paris, and his oud playing in both concerts is OUTSTANDING (i m trying to find the tape which has these 2 concerts). anyway, abadi was nervoius in this concert, the reason is before he leaving to Can, he miised the flight for some reason, and when he reached Can, heknew that the plane that he supposed to take crashed, and he very nervoius that day, and he played the Spanish taqaseem for the first time in public concert.

Hey guys,

I can't wait to get home. I haven't had a chance to take a look at the latest attachments by Bin Ayoub, but I'm sure they're going to be very cool. San3any, I'm not positive about the oud, but it looks like it could be a Farouk Shehata. It makes more sense now that Jaber pointed out this performance was awhile ago too. Thanks for the Ahmad Fathi taqsim too. It was very nice!

Take care,
Mike

Hey guys. The Abadi_maq6oo3a.wmv sounds vaguely familiar. Did we have someone on this forum play it or something? I don't remember exactly, but it's just sounds very familiar...

Regardless, excellent files, man! You bring some great things with you. Keep them coming.

I remember during the Farid-al-Atrache.com days (long time ago in internet time!), before Mikeouds.com even, all we could get were some very poor quality clips of Abadi. I was enthralled with his Farido-esque playing back then, and due to the low quality I think it kind of enhanced the mystique of this then unknown-to-me oudist. Now we are watching videos of his playing, and listening to high quality MP3s. I think I would have quit playing oud long ago if it weren't for this site.:xtreme:

guys, do u want to hear another great taqaseem of abadi,
well, check this one. IMO, it is one of the best abadi attempts to play Farid's taqaseem. this was recorded in 1977, when abadi was only 23 :bowdown:

i cant find any wrods to describe how amazing the playing is... just listen to it..

EDIT: the file posted above is from abady-aljohr.com forum.

guys, did u noticed the guy who is asking the audince to listen to the oud at the begining, Sama3 Sama3 , Sama3 :D

abadi played that taqaseem 3 years after farid passed away. i was hoping that Farid met abadi, and check his amazing talent, but abadi was so young and he wasnt known outside Suadi Arabia when farid was alive.
