Ok, I finally updated the Taqsim MP3 Page. Thanks again to Oudman for letting me know that this Farid Ghosn CD was finally available.
Although the quality is not the best, it is important for those interested in the oud. Farid Ghosn was a true master of the oud.
finaly i was able to listen to that file (i fixed my sound card problem).
anyway, do u guys remeber when i posted a thread about him before, i was right, this guy is a great oud player.
as i said in the MP3 page, when Farido was working for Badeea`a, F. Ghosn was working there also, and he used to compete with Farid everyday on oud
(and there was another guy with them, i forgot his name).
more info about him, F. Ghosn spend part of his life in south America (i think in Argentina), he was very influced by their style of music (like
tango), and he was trying to use these styles in arabic music (or el moseeq el shrqya), and u can tell from his oud playing that he loved that
style.
he also a composer, and composed one song for Om Kolthoom, but it faild.
anyway, he is defntly one of the best oud players, and u can tell that he has his own style, it is mix between the taqaseem of east (egypt, syria,
lebanon) and the taqaseem of the Iraqi school.
anyone has molre info ??
thanks again mike and oudman.elrabee3 - 10-3-2003 at 02:30 PM
my fav part is from 4:25 till the end.
if he was able to compete with the "KING" then he must be a GREAT oud player.
we have to find more of his taqaseem.Mike - 10-3-2003 at 08:56 PM
Hi elrabee3,
Welcome back. I'm glad you fixed your computer problems and can now listen to music again. You are absolutely correct, he did live in Argentina
for awhile and he was definitely influenced by the music of the West. Anyway, here are a couple of files dedicated to you my friend. The one attached
in this post is called "Flamenco Reflections". The other is a small taqsim.
Take care,

I totally love the way Ghosn plays. The guy has a great style to him. He's so versatile, too. Mike, keep em comin!mavrothis - 10-4-2003 at 05:14 AM
What can you say? Maybe it has something to do with the name. It seems with the name Farid you can't go wrong.)
I love this guy.
