hello there, beginner here, curious to know from yall as of this year, what's some easy ways or players to listen to songs & ensembles with oud from various areas? I own a arabic zeryab oud & learning off of website Izif. I know I want to play everything someday but unsure how to even start listening then looking up, so any sources is appreciated! All I know most is listen to arabic players or top ones if starting out??? I got a darbuka, can always record myself & improvise over but I only know a handful of short maqam scales & saved song pages from the website.
I know it ranges from andalusian/al-andalus, byzantine, greek, lebanon, armenian, arabic, turkish, iranian, egyptian, syrian, jazz, hungarian, medieval spanish, simple tunes from rennasaince, italian folk, all that.
