Munir & Omar Bashir- Maqam Rast

[dandorledo]

I think that Omar is worthy of his Father and has completly understood all the "Spirit" of this Great Instrument" He is following his Father's tracks and will become also a Great master of OUD!!!

[kitthevideoman]

I find it very interesting to hear this. It has given me a new and different perspective on music. Western music, with its 12-tone scale, has its beauty and so does this. These are masterful musicians, who put their souls into their playing. They are to be commended for their superb artistry.

[dderudito]

The best oud player ever! No a single untune!

[alialsuhail]

i like traditional arabmusic played with oud .....

shukran for presenting.

[Treckorz]

Does anyone know where you can get omar bashires shirt from?

Its amazing.

Thanks.

[Crackthefiresister]

I do a course at university about music from around the world. Thanks for uploading! It's also very nice to read what feelings you have hearing this kind of music! Without this video & these comments I would never have known. Thanks!

[afro3ilandi]

When I listen to the sound of oud everything around me gains a different,mysteriously charming view..! It makes me look inside and find things I would never have found otherwise..!

I just love this instrument and I admire these people who exploit all the possibilities it has to offer! 3)

[emintham]

Marra Quvais, Shukran..

[eyewolf9780]

soooooooo nice goool playing ..

[olipinsk]

Im an Israeli, and my family is from Iraq. munir bashir is one of my favorite players. when my grandmother and grandfather were forced to leave Iraq in the fifties, they considered themselves "arab jews" - their culture was arabic. they would listen to oum cultum from the kahir radio and cry. Also there were very good Iraqi jews classical arabic music players as well, for instance Yousuf el awad, and kanun player Abraham salman. I wish I could travel to bagdad. SALAM

[dataclast]

@olipinsk My family story is the same, perhaps one day we can return home...

[ihameduddin]

@olipinsk Sorry I met to thumbs up...

[ihameduddin]

@olipinsk Sorry I meant to thumbs up...

[jordanlover81]

@olipinsk there is no body force iraqi jews to leave iraq...they migrated to occupied Palestine by themselves!!!

[mrdotawesomedotcom]

@celebratingfantasy - yeah... not the best prez we've had...

@everyone - i don't listen to this type of music often, and im interested in musical aesthetics. i want to hear it from someone who's been brought up with this music - what sort of emotion does music in the maqam rast (and hopefully the various other maqamat) give you? i want to get out of the rut of major key = happy and minor key = sad, because most people in the world don't interpret it that way. thanks, and shukran gazilan! :)

[LfunkeyA]

great music

[sameraso]

الموسيقار منير بشير اروع عازف للعود في الوطن العربي وهو من اكتشف الوتر السادس في العود وادخله على العود رائع هذا الموسيقار لا يوجد وصف اصفه به

[munkdo3]

needs a humming synth in the background and then it's perfect! :)

[celebratingfantasy]

Yes of course when the american came to Iraq , they added the american taste in the iraqi culture in all instruments.... Thank you Mr Bush

[leegee23]

What a great sound. Didn't he spend a lot of time in Budapest, too?

[jnita2010]

It's all beautiful. I have an album called Baghdad Blues featuring the ancient lyre of Ur. There is a song on it not anywhere on the internet, by Omar Bashir, it's called "Cradle. Sound of Civilisation". It's just about the most haunting piece of music I've ever heard. I'd like to put it on Facebook.

[munkdo3]

@jnita2010 please do so or even better upload it to youtube

+1 request

[szuszu66]

Please visit the official website of the legend of oud Munir Bashir

[maarthandam]

i hear an augmented fourth quater note at times can anyone clarify?

[MetalKael]

this song is called Pastâ Baghdadiyya and is a popular Iraqi tune... They have recorded it in an album called 'Ud Duet, released in 1998

[hadyl]

منير بشير اسطورة العود ويجب ان تدرس طريقته في العزف .

[o0oMatrixo0oF7]

annoos

نعم انا ملحن هذه المعزوفة (؛

[kriann]

masha'Allah....

[Xavio58]

I am beginning to discover a whole new world of music outside of my usual kinds of music. I am impressed.

[o0oMatrixo0oF7]

من البداية الى الثانية 0:40 يسمى دولاب الراست

وهذا من احب المعزوفات الاستهلالية لدي

[annoos]

@o0oMatrixo0oF7 شكرا على المعلومة..

بالفعل هذه المعزوفة الاستهلالية طربية جداً.. وقد استخدمها صباح فخري أيضاَ عندما غنى يا شادي الألحان..

عندك فكرة مين ملحنها؟

[almegalli]

Very nice, thanks for sharing .

there is another guy from Yemen he's name is Ahmed Fathe he is really great, truly surprises me.

[moonfades2009]

@almegalli Yes, he's good in technique.

[nafmee]

اه على الموسقى العربية الاصيلة

رووووووووووووووووووووعة تسلم على المقطع

[moonfades2009]

Those who can show us the greatness of the Arabian music are rare and hard to find. But it's true that Munir Bashir is one of them. May he rest in peace.

[justchance191]

You are technically right. I have not checked the family of the other oudists. Have you. To be born in the culture of Turkey is enough . They were not raised in Armenia. Have you thought of the effect Turkish occupation of the Middle East for 100's of years had on the culture from the coffee to the taksims. I think we are lucky to have heard these men. I had the fortune to hear the two I mentioned in person. Hrant at a benefit for a Turkish soccer team. Melkon at a party.. Go with God.

[naghmeh001]

lovely rendition.

Are there any lyrics to this wonderful piece of Oud???

Thanks for sharing..

[arkanzyad]

marvellous

this music takes you to real feelings

thank you for posting this video

[ibrahimtamerm]

Now that is a musician. Much better than the over-rated chicken lipped farid al atrach.

[justchance191]

Before he walks on water I think you might want to listen to Marko Melkon and Udi Harant, Turks, I grant you, but lords of the oud taksim

[part1sts]

@justchance191 Udi Hrant is Armenian.

[part1sts]

@justchance191 Marko Melkon Alemsherian is also Armenian.

Hrant's last name is Kenkulian.

[soranB55]

May he rests in peace. Munir bashir is a legend.

Love from Kurdistan.

[limiras79]

munhir bashir, maybe the best oudist of all times

[zalamalek]

BAGDAD, sousles bomes à l'UA de l'Amérique... souvenez-bvous, n'oubliez jamais ce crime contre l'humanité! Un autre, actuellement, est en cours à Gaza...

Mais l'oud nous permet de rêver à un monde de paix et de douceur, et de justice.

Merci piur cette merveilleuse vidéo.

[FAUVEEX]

Wonderful.

It reminds me of hallucination, and the players are really good.

[salvalcore]

That's sound like a Bayati Dulab I've heard at the start of the tune - Do they start with that and then play in Rast?

[imtiredfomid]

[aflairwaves]

yes. this is oud.

[youboob83]

Thanks for that clarification.... I was lost for a minute there...

[jambon57]

"____Complétely false."

OK, smart ass. Who invented the oud? Is there not an ounce of poetry in you?

[martasymeon]

the video is fine but there is there is noise by an english spoken voice which distroies everything.i am sorry for that

[solid102]

When ever i hear the oud i feel like i want to cry.

[youboob83]

The accuracy of the above statement can be discussed on Wikipedia's dicussion page for the oud. This is not Digg where you can bury comments for not being factually accurate. I don't think you understand what spam means, ziozoo. Look it up and stop spamming my comments...

[FameoM]

Farabi was Turkic you persian fool... and he spent most of his life in Baghdad. you guys always manipulate history so much

[youboob83]

I'm not persian... relax.

Like I said, take it up with the folks at Wikipedia...

fool...

[Michoid9]

super beau, envoutant!

[MeshMo]

i love it...

[agungk]

oud...maybe because it's somehow resemble resonant chamber of human chest, each note coming from it like coming from within. never with harseness or arrogance. always with a sense of serenity and openess. could be merriful but to me they emanate voices of a searching soul.
