Don't you love how all those "related videos" on the sidebar of youtube can lead you to something wonderful and unexpected?
Yesterday morning our day started slowly, over coffee, with some rare winter sunlight pouring into our living room. As we sipped our coffee my husband played a beloved Fairuz song...which led us to an enjoyable flamenco-Lebanese performance of "Janaat" by oudist Wadih el Safi and guitarist Jose Fernandez, before YT's algorithms lead us to... DuOud!
Parisian duo Jean-Pierre Smadj and Mehdi Haddab combine electronic oud with accoustic and a whole lot of electronica. The two musicians draw from their backgrounds as sound engineer and trained jazz musicians, as well as their North African heritage, to create music that's more than just fusion. They've really made "classical" oud music rock!
If you've heard them play, drop me a line and tell me what you thought.
