The oud player is the humble Palestinian musician Simon Shaheen, born in the village of Tarshiha in Palestine. He has many albums and thousands of soundtracks for international films such as "Sheltering Sky" and "Malcolm X" and a music for many documentaries, Arabic music with jazz, Western classical music and Latin American music. Musician Simon Shaheen, in addition to the oud, is violinists with the same professionalism and beauty. His first artistic appearance was at the age of four. Shaheen was considered as a unique musical school, so it is no surprise that Former US president Bill Clinton honored Simon Shaheen at the White House.
@@qatari84al-qahtani81 not exactly, the word "Guitar" comes from derivation of indian and persian lute called Sitar or Setar and Tar. And unlike oud, they have frets or bars to guide the sound of the strings.. Gui-tar may be short for guia del tar.. Guia in Spanish means guide. The word Citharrra comes from Greek and Roman times, but origin again is from Indian and Persian. Spanish guitar has a direct ancestry from the Arabic oud or Persian Barbat, and also Persian Sitar or Tar. All of them were brought to Cordoba, Spain, in the 9th century by a muscian called Ziryab, who was of Persian origin but born in Iraq. And the true pronounciation of the name is Zaryab, in Persian or Kurdish, which means "liquid gold" or of "wealth and richness". Does not mean "blackbird" as some writers claimed.
Jijiji no sabes nada de de música . Este estrumento es de origen árabe. Cuando los árabes conquesto España 500 años. Ahí empieza los españoles a usarlo
39Thorns I love its deep sound. Underappreciated? In terms of playing on it in western-style music you are probably right. But hey, it's a Middle Eastern instrument so no wonder that is so. There are other instruments from that region (kanun, ney...) that are facing the same situation, but I don't find anything wrong in that. I guess this makes the whole world music more interesting. That way I can choose between Arab music, Hindustani Classical, Balkan, Scandinavian folk, African music or whatever. I have a choice not only because of different musical traditions but also because of different instruments used.
Never noticed your comment under this video here (probably because I only got to know your account 2 months ago 😅) Anyway, I like your 3D work (especially the morph targets of your current model). Keep it up ✌️
This man is a genius of the Oud. I have a friend named Tall Kenny who went to Morocco and studied Arabic music and eventually played in an Oud band there. The stories Kenny told us were so fascinating and so I always think about going there myself. This viddy just made me realize how much I still want to go and commune with my Arab brothers. Thx alot!!! 🇲🇦
not sure if you know or not, but the arab empire once was the epicenter of all cultural heritage spanning from spain, to africa, and the entire persian empire. the reason arab music sounds like spanish, is because spanish music is fundamentally, arabic music.
No it isn't, if it was then why is it necessary to delineate between Arabic and Spanish music, moreover is Arabic music essentially Persian? The oud was inspired by a Persian instrument and music from there? Or is Turkish Music essentially Greek? The Turks took a lot of inspiration from the Greeks when making their music. They may have evolved from there but the music styles are inherently unique.
@@danielk3919 You're wrong, dude. Persians aren't arabic, they're persians! They're totally different ethinicitys. And yes, spanish music derivates directly from arabian music, altough they have different aproach into the musical subjct, their base are the same, very different from the ocidental music aproach.

its the music scale tonality that is definitely, Middle Eastern/ Oriental, in origin. the Guitar incorporates Steel components in the construction of the instrument, with the frets and eventually strings these instruments don't have frets and all the materials for these instruments are organic, wood and 'gut' strings (Catgut, literally made from the intestines of animals) its that Harmonic-Minor scale that has that Spanish middle eastern sound there is history there btw with spanish Al-Andalus (Muslim Spain) its world music Baroque music from Middle Ages europe into the Renissance has alot of middle eastern sounding stuff, especially with Bach, even into Mozart. Church music will alway relay back to Jerusalem and 'Israel" and Middle Eastern Cultures.
Yup. Lately I've been playing lots of flamenco guitar and I thought it really sounded a bit Arabic and I see this video and yup. Edit: It's just phrygian, learned the music theory
GREAT. Lots of Ancient Chinese traditional musical equipment, like Sorna, Pipa，cymbalo（dulcimer）etc, have come from Mideast, what a civilization Place.
Simon Shaheen is one of the greatest living oud players nowadays. He also masters the arabic violin, or Kamaya. He is one of the most inspiring artists in the diaspora, at a technical level and mastering the maqam systems.
it's incredible how music was spilled around the world... you can hear arab tones all wide around the world in terms of folk music (or I don't know how this music is called). It also sounds quite tropical xD

Oud is the most difficult thing in the music because its depend in your resha using , its not easy at all .. but when you know how to use it perfectly believe me you can make the oud talk , and i mean it ❤️
Wow, this is the first time, I have even heard of an Oud, and I am loving it. I think there is a sort of "raw' nature to the sound, which gives it a very oriental feel. A true virtuoso playing it makes it sound divine!
69wolf69pack69 This Arabic music machine is made the Latin music in Spain and South America (Arab Andalusian) and has made the oriental music (Turkish , iranien,arminien,afghan, Indian.......) and also influenced the African and Western music(jazz...) so it is the greatest musical instrument in the world
And to think many of my fellow Westerners call these masterful Arabs uncivilized. Unsettling to say the least. I know better thankfully. Arab culture is the best philosophically based in the world.
I love his sound and his playing. He throws in the Flamenco pieces every once in awhile which fit perfectly. One time he started to bring in the Flamenco and the Flutist came in and broke it. That's ok though, it still sounded awesome. I purchased an Oud and started to learn but after a shoulder operation I couldn't play due to the pain. I still pick it up every once in awhile but mostly just look at it.... Great piece of music and great sound as well Thank You from Idaho, US
Middle east is the heart of all civilizations, all people, languages, cultures, music instruments origins mostly emerged from there by either way . this is why when you hear a middle east music it make you fly to ancient world with a beautiful sensation to a historical place .
Guithara was invinted in Iraq 4000 years back, there are ancient golden guthara in British musuem stolen from Iraq and another ancient silver guithara ( i dont remmber who stole it from Iraq ) . Oud was later invinted, but not sure where exactly. If u have historical resources for ur claim tell me. The flute most probably was invinted in Egypet 5000 years back, but also ancient flutes were founded in some north asia and in the Europe as well.

The music and sound that Oud is capable of is outstanding. The way it continues to vibrate feels and sounds like nothing else I've experienced an instrument to do before. I could easily listen to this video over and over again, it is so elegant, exciting, and beautiful.
Nice to see a live oud performance. Interesting to hear it sounds so much like flamenco and playing it has a lot of vibrato, giving it that mystic sound which is the trademark of Arabic music.
هذه المره الألف الذي اسمع فيه هذا العزف الخرافي ! بكل صراحة العود يتحدث عن نفسه ، لا تقولوا لي قيتار او ماشابهه ، العود غيييييير جدهم وفخرهم هذا العازف الأسطورة أبدع بشكل غير معقول لدرجة اظهر العود بأحلى حلة ، أنصح أخوتي العرب وغيرهم لعزف الأخطبوط عبادي الجوهر وأفتخر أن السعودية لحد الآن تفتخر بهذا الموروث العربي العود
This is allegedly the mother to the western lute. It's so rich and has a punchy decay, almost fruity. This is the first time I've listened to the oud I think. Gorgeous sound.
+Malcolm Loveless The spaniards got their spanish typical sound from arabic influences (flamenco for example) before they kicked the fkkk out all of them. Many arabic influences remained in Spain, for instance the pronunciation of many words (like the "J" sound) and eventually they brought it all to us in South America.
Such a deep pleasure and inner peace to listen and Play this Instrument and this Arabic Music. I am Swiss and am learning it since some years - now able to play modest taksims ...
The Abbasside Caliphhs and the Ummmayuad before them ..were fond of sort of this music ..They had developed and used to sponsor the orchestra like we do in modern world.Above all they were the pioneers ocf this Arabic music that we taste these days ...Love from Pakistan ..
That's right but the Umayyad state continued to flourish in Andalusia for three centuries and they competed with Baghdad in Sciences, Architecture and in Infrastructures, those were the best places in the world to live in at that time.
It's thrilling to imagine generations of human beings listening to this ancient music it is like a eternal jewel. My dance teachers introduced me to it. It has such a beckoning manner you want to dance to it and be it. His instrument has no frets. So no way to know where you are on the neck. I'm grateful I'm not dealing with that unbelievable challenge while I study guitar. I would give up.
Amazingly amazing..beautifully blended like a coffee aroma in the spring season , while a sudden rains hits the ground and when you layback and suddenly you astral project..woww it feels like that

A true expression of middle eastern culture and passion !!! I love it ! How can the player perform so fast ??!!
Avi Benyakar many many years of practice, he looks sorta old so it could be 40 years of learning
He comes from an old palestinan family full of musicians and started playing oud at age six.

هذه المره الألف الذي اسمع فيه هذا العزف الخرافي ! بكل صراحة العود يتحدث عن نفسه ، لا تقولوا لي قيتار او ماشابهه ، العود غيييييير جدهم وفخرهم هذا العازف الأسطورة أبدع بشكل غير معقول لدرجة اظهر العود بأحلى حلة ، أنصح أخوتي العرب وغيرهم لعزف الأخطبوط عبادي الجوهر وأفتخر أن السعودية لحد الآن تفتخر بهذا الموروث العربي العود
+omar ali ولن اغيرها يابن النشامى وانا ولد وايل
omar ali ولا يهينك يالغالي
صحيح عزف خرافي لكن اﻻسﻻم بريئ من الموسيقى وليس موروث اسﻻمي
نستمتع بالفن بدون ان ندخل اﻻسلام بالفن الموسيقي
+omar ali شو هبل تاعك شو هاي مسيحي و مسلم بلا هبل
+omar ali الي بعزف سيمون شاهين ابن بلدي وفي بلدي ما في فرقبين مسلم ومسيحي فاهم
Nothing short of remarkable. How can pop/rap musicians look themselves in the mirror after listening to this?
This is allegedly the mother to the western lute. It's so rich and has a punchy decay, almost fruity. This is the first time I've listened to the oud I think. Gorgeous sound.
عزف جميل ورائع وممتع يعكس خيال خصب وجموح للانعتاق
What a mastery! Respect.
Sou brasileiro e adoro esse instrumento magnífico 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Beautiful. Enjoy hearing Simon play!!
حق ربي سيمون رقم 1فل عود نصير رقم 2 فخر لكل العرب الله يحفظهم نحبهم لي درجه لا توصف ف لله لا غيرهم في ترويض العود
Thank you for this music. It's beautiful. Greeting from Switzerland and Thailand. Nathanaël
Adoro esta música de Simon Shahim.. Mi alma se conecta con otras épocas, presumo que Al Andaluz, Hay algo muy fuerte que me evoca esta música. Magia.
Heavenly! Thank you from Atlanta, GA, usa
من اجمل ما سمعت في حياتي، يوجد روح غريبه و نقيه ورائعه قي القطعة
That fucking melody line at 1:12 is so good!
spatialWanderer yeah man
System of a down
Followed by the eerily amazing flute... Just like the backdrop of the theatre
@@necrobotico yes
He stops the percussion coming in too early too, clearly the boss!
تقنية عود رهيبة ودقّة متناهية...ماشاللّه
عاشت اناملكم الجميلة وعزفك الرائع وروحك الطيبة استاذ سيمون
اين مكان هذا الفنان العظيم في قنوات التلفزة العربية اين؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

Such a technical and musical playing wow! greetings from Turkey
+Berkay Yılmaz I thought this music originated in Spain. I am from U.S., I have always loved this music not knowing its origins.
+Malcolm Loveless The spaniards got their spanish typical sound from arabic influences (flamenco for example) before they kicked the fkkk out all of them. Many arabic influences remained in Spain, for instance the pronunciation of many words (like the "J" sound) and eventually they brought it all to us in South America.
+Malcolm Loveless it was originally Arabic
Berkay Yılmaz fhffh*

Such a deep pleasure and inner peace to listen and Play this Instrument and this Arabic Music. I am Swiss and am learning it since some years - now able to play modest taksims ...
henry müller it's more Palestinian than Arabic 😉
Keep up the good work 👍
Touch El Ela palestinian is arabic lmao
thank you- I am working with a good teacher. By now, I start to imprivise some taksims on rust ...
show us your taqsem in youtb
Gives me goosebumps when they all start playing together. It is a beautiful sound. Thank you for sharing!
The Abbasside Caliphhs and the Ummmayuad before them ..were fond of sort of this music ..They had developed and used to sponsor the orchestra like we do in modern world.Above all they were the pioneers ocf this Arabic music that we taste these days ...Love from Pakistan ..
That's right but the Umayyad state continued to flourish in Andalusia for three centuries and they competed with Baghdad in Sciences, Architecture and in Infrastructures, those were the best places in the world to live in at that time.
Beautiful....Respect from Greece..😊
It's thrilling to imagine generations of human beings listening to this ancient music it is like a eternal jewel. My dance teachers introduced me to it. It has such a beckoning manner you want to dance to it and be it. His instrument has no frets. So no way to know where you are on the neck. I'm grateful I'm not dealing with that unbelievable challenge while I study guitar. I would give up.
Amazingly amazing..beautifully blended like a coffee aroma in the spring season , while a sudden rains hits the ground and when you layback and suddenly you astral project..woww it feels like that
Ola!from Brazil.It is so beautiful melody.Although i not understand Arabic language.
jasminmaria2 brasileiros em todos os lugares kkkkkk \©/

@@lucidesabarreto2999 sim, som maravilhoso. Pretendo estudar mais a cultura do oriente médio para reproduzir sons de regiões distintas.
Pois de forma leiga achamos que são todos iguais porém há variações que para nativos são bem distintas....
This is way better than most youtube arabic playlist.
Wonderful, I love Arabian culture. Old and magnificent culture. Thank you.
