YOU GUYS ARE STUPID!! just listen to this lovley music and put politics aside...if people think this music is a sign of Taliban or terrorisim...let them think that, its their problem, this song is beautiful, and politics has NOTHING to do with it. comment about this song, or get out of here!! >.>
@dodorox13 You are wrong. I have done nothing wrong. There are many people who say bad things about Arabs and I am just trying to counteract that. There is nothing wrong with me standing up for Arabs.
@IsmailaGodHasHeard1 The proof that arabs can be peacefull is that we lived side by side with jews without problem for tousands of years until the zionist wanted to form israel.
Great video, I love the very resonant tone of an oud, you should check out Avishai Cohen's latest Album Continuo which he recorded together with Oud-player Amos Hoffmann! ;)

Israel and Palestine should be free, you disillusioned people have fought over the same piece of land for centuries! The land doesnt exist for you keep from one another, its for you ALL to share! The Zionists are getting just as bad as the Nazis were, and I come from what was a jewish immigrant family in the US! All this war is for nothing but evil, when can the fighting end and we see each other eye to eye as equals?
@dirmaster0 give it a thought for a sec. you say israel should be free right? and for every1 to be in. im fine with that. let the palestines be in our country. for real. but, at some point it will get to their heads and start doing whatever they want. there will be no rules, people will be murdered, and the palestines would want to claim israel just for themselfs. and then what? where would we be? in uganda like the first suggestion? we cant! we need to have a country! just for our self!
No, because the separation of people leads to more conflict, it will never end. If people just realized this Earth was given to humanity to SHARE, not divide and conquer, we'd be a more peaceful society. The IDF has murdered countless Palestinians, as Hamas has done unto the Israelis, more blood spilled over land will not solve the problem. Working together regardless of ethnicity or nationality is the only way to gain peace
@dirmaster0 a land can never be SHARED properly. every time when there are 2 diffrent people in 1 place, there will always be fighting. one will want this, the other will want that. thats the nature. if this could have happen, that wouldnt be real. and, about that our army murderd countless palestines and they murdred countless israleis, it's not true. every1 will have a story for what they did. you cant say they did this for nothing.
I think it is the quarter tones, that bother me. I am American, and my whole life I have heard nothing but whole and half tones. The quarter tones sound out of tune to me.
yes! music transcends politics and cultures. im hispanic but i have heard this in my head before i knew what it was. im so greatful that i have found it here
I'm an Israeli myself and I can't understand why you guys always drag it to the same old politics whenevr there's a clip that has anything to do with the Israeli/Palestinian situation.
I could gives two shits about it right now.
this guy is absolutely amazing, and I can only hope that I'll be able to watch him perform someday.
@MultiGreenRoof 1500 years!!! Humans lived in that region more than anywhere else except for Africa and have being slaughtering each other since, just like their brothers and sisters in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. we humans are disgusting, that is another fact!!
As for the "WEST", Middle Eastern people made it the "West" when they went there some thousands of years ago; please review the human migration history.
In spite of all the political irrelevant drivel being spouted, in many comments, many others recognize the fundamental truth: the skill of the player and the voice of the instrument soars above it all.
Fuck all this political jargon everybody is blaberring about. Just shush for once and listen to how amazing this piece is. How can you not simmer down to the sound of the Oud. It's simply breathtaking.
as an israeli citizen, i dont think that arabs are so bad like every1 is saying. i met alot of arabs that are very nice and care the shit out of politics. so if you think that really maters that you talk about it in here then you are totaly wrong!
omg! i live in saudi and i study politics. Do you honestly think democracy is the way to go in any arab country? anywhere in the middle east or africa even? there is not one successful democracy! Democracy is a way of governing that requires a lot of conditions, cultural exeptance, economical and social factors. The Islamic culture through history emphasized hierarchy, authority and intolerance. so dont sadly come on "youtube!" to preach about it, especially on something u lack knowledge in!
@shizzle2nizzle What a laughing-stock you are! "studying politics in saudi" Oh really!! what do they teach you there "Totalitarianism 101", "Anti-humanism 201" and you have book titled "Governance: a dictator's approach".
I never mentioned democracy in my comment. I just stated the FACT that saudi/arabstan is a shithole....you know it, and every well-read person knows this is true.
So, this should means that using English (the most global language in the world) is a negative and refused thing to do, isn't it?! What an unbelievable mind you got!
What a wonderful oud player you are, maestro Samer! Zionist hate spreaders are after Oum Kalthoum and now after oud players. What a pitiful way of showing hate.......
because he plays mellow and romantic He is good. As far as where he comes from and the whole politics I have to say that I am very amazed at the level of hate toward Israel a country the size of State of New Jersey which managed to be the most democratic country on earth that hosts 35% Muslims of the regions who themselves have admitted that are freest among their Arab neighbors. LETS LISTEN TO THE MUSIC GUYS O.K
I just came here to hear some great music. Israel's claim is based on documents Jews wrote a long time ago. The claim of the US is based on two documents written two hundred years ago. I'm sure the Iroquois wouldn't recognize the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence as valid or binding. The only reason the US exists is that it has been maintained with brute force. Get the idea?!
right, so that means people shouldnt stand up to tyrany? and no, america came as a result of british colonists revolting and creating a country where they happened to find themselves living, for many generations already. Israel, is just thievery. dont compare americas inception, one of true honor and nobility, to that of the piratical, disgusting, hateful genocidal one of israels.
Well, it is clear so much of y our time is a waste and, yes, you are clueless. Do you want cheese with your whine? hahaha You view is so self-serving and uneducated. Please quit boring me with your pathetic whining.
Your cluelessness is amusing. The Pals need to learn about being civil or pay the price. It only takes one Pals to be a terrorist and kill children intentionally like they have. When the Pals love their children more than they hate the Israelis, their lives will improve. Til then, they will pay a steep price they have earned.
I think you could use a working education and maturity. But you do continue to be amusing although pathetic.
كل الاحترام لك يا أستاذ سامر ..ولكن ألا تلاحظ أنك تعزف بأسلوب تعبيري ويفتقد للأسلوب التطريبي الذي يعطي العود طابعه الشرقي الخاص ؟؟حتى عندما استخدمت مقام الصبا ..لم نشعر بتلك الأحاسيس التي تتملكنا عند سماع الصبا !.فهل هذا في نظرك تجديد للأسلوب ؟مع الأسف هذا قتل لرونق العود ...
Umm, no. You sound like a nice person alright and it hurts to say this, but the fact that you refer to whichever part of Palestine you're coming from as Israel..My friend, we do not have terms.
why cant you stupid people enjoy the music for what it is. the oud is a beautiful instrument, i think this even when living amongst people of such narrow mindedness. fuck you haters, you cancerous sheep are a waste of oxygen.
no arabs hate turks asserys hates kurds ok but they are thinking they are turks thats the thing and fuck you all fashist bitches its just important to be a people are you a people or just a fashizt animal?
i am a ramallah man myself. it is hard to forgive the injustices done to us by the jews, the US, and the rest of the world. i bear no hate for any culture or religion, but those within them who choose to proclaim themselves better. Yes i feel it unfair that we pals lost our land to the jews, and how the U.S. supported it, but now slaughters and massacres are happening and it is time to stop. arabs are as much guilty for war crimes as much as the jews or americans. we share equal faults.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
today the fact on the ground matters. the kurds have some 40 mil. soon 60 mil there was assyrian civil but no arab. arabs had never any civil but todays reality the gypsies as you call it are there. but the gypsies are superior to the arabs. they servivied that is strong will
kurds are gypsies you came from central asia you speak an irano-aghran language the earliest clay tablet didn't mention you ,the indigenous populations welcomed you and now you're trying to dived their lands fucking bastards Assyrian were there for at least 4000 years it's written on clay tablets
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i see you use the only word you and your islamic culutre knows. but you and yourn people get fucked all over europe and everywhere else.
since you have no brain to use and argue like all arabs. it is no surprise. loosers will always will be loosers, arabs, turks iranians and others. as for the kurds they fucked you ok. and assyrians and isrealis are doing it to you that is why it hurst.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ha this how stupid u r. kurds are on their lands and their islamic loosers were never able to take control --may be name.
and are paying a high price for it. ask saddam kurds do not kill innocents like arabs and turks --just see loosers hamas and others. we are in control none of these armies could beat us. go ask the turks.
i am an Israeli Jew, whos ancestors come from Arab lands, and we're Arab and Persian Jews, and i can enjoy this Palestinian man's music, why can't you people?
satmjoal want to ignore the oud player and want to spew hate. he is a real peach he wants to kill all jews. me i just like the oud no killing for me of anyone
really so i guess you never heard of Jewish Arabs then. i guess the only idiot is you. do realize there were Jewish Arabs in Arabia before the rise of Islam but many converted after the introduction of Islam. why don't you go back to making ignorant comments on other videos. or just enjoy this very nice video of a great oud player. but please don't comment on another video you would just further embarrass yourself by your stupidity
This music is beautiful. It truelly is a shame that people regardless of their background can not appreciate the beauty of other cultures. It is pure arrogence of westerners like us to look down upon Islamic cultures as barbaric and having nothing to offer the world but bloodshed and terrorists. Very similer to the attitude that the Roman Empire had towards any culture that had not yet been assimilated.Once humanity realises we are all dependant on one another for survival there may be peace.
while i do not condone isreali action. the arabs in iraq kileed, gaased. buried alive and destroyed thousands of kurdish villages. the kurds had not even fired a missile into arab areas. so cool off man. isreal is no more savage than the arabs and islamists. guess what the kurds feel>
Aman yarabbi bu ne güzel bir nağmedir,yüreğinize sağlık.Gerçi anlamazsınız bu mesajı ama olsun mühim olan "aynı dili konuşmak değil,aynı duyguları paylaşmaktır"
It's funny how you skeak of education, and you actually think that the first time Palestine was created is when the romans expelled the jews. The romans renamed it Palestine as that's what it was called WAY BEFORE Abraham even existed. Who cares about then anyways, Zionists are a bunch of European terrorists that occupy a country in the name of lies and historical myths, and have established a fake Jewish nation on the basis of deception, descrimination and oppression. The gaza events are proof!
you are absolutely right ... there is no historical excuse for occupation and killing of innocent civilians (specially children) ... so stop bugging us with your history bullshit and let's speak of human rights.
You are absolutely foolish... remember, Arabs/Muslims use CHILDREN to fight their wars of terrorism and also hide behind them using them for cover.. So stop the bullshit about human rights. You clearly have a screwed up value system with little clue as to what is human rights.
And please you are not in position to lecture anyone "EVEN US BARBARIAN ARABS" about any value system ... go find yourself one.
Phalaseniens children has no hope in any future ... your made their live a hell ... that's if your "country"'s army left them alive in the first place ... you should be ashamed. not Rudely lecture me about value systems.
Screw YOU and your so-called value-system if existed.
you have no idea what you're talking about, my friend. open your eyes...
and know that there's a difference between arabs and moslems. one is a people, the the other a religion.
oh and also... there's a difference between an Arab and a violent Arab. Same as the difference between a Jew and a violent Jew.
You cut the bullshit. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. so... after we've cast all our stones, us Arabs and the Jews, maybe we can starting talking properly... on equal grounds
Israel is known through the world for what it truyl is - a neocolonial terrorist state. They are sewing the seeds for their destruction. Long live Palestine. Look at the spirit of the Gazans - calling out to their Lord in the midst of being massacred. You cannot defeat a people with such a spirit. 'And they planned and you planned, and God is the best of planners' (HQ). Long live Palestine - in solidarity with you from Sydney Australia.
this music is lovely, inspiring.I love middle eastern music, even for a atheist jew I still have the utmost respect to all cultures. I'm one of the minority who believes the various groups should share the holy land, since all of their religions come out of abraham,its a shame people have to be so close minded and embrace separatism..this has why religion has failed us all..from jew to muslim to christian..It holds up the walls between us all..
We must unite..we cannot leave out the desert power
I think if the Arabs/Muslims stop attacking Israel, they can have peace. Until the attacks against Israel stop the Pals will get what they deserve. Until the Pals love their children enough to stop endangering them, their children will suffer. Why is it so few people complain about the dead Israelis but whine about how the Pals are treated? I support the Israelis but wish there could be peace. But with the Pals, peace is only a dream since they really don't want it.
You are indeed ill-informed.. The Palestinians just want a home, a home stolen from them through the act of western powers and given to Israelis..they deserve the Holy Land just as much as the jews, just as much as the christians, they are people too after all, no matter their belief system. The first stage is the air assaults, bombing the Universities...mosques...etc...next is the ground offensive, where more and more will be massacred... We need to stop this now, inaction will solve nothing
Thanks for your opinion. Yes, it could stop if the Pals would stop using terrorism but that is not likely due to their nature. I agree, the Pals should have a share but only when they stop the terrorism and are willing to share. I think Israel is agreeing with you, they seem to be taking some action. It is reflective of how you can ignore the deaths caused by the Pals but blame Israel.
:) I went to a western Unve and I got my Ph.D in history, so don't worry about that. Neteans were Arabs and they were in Syira and Palestine before Romans. Arabs are people who are part of the Aramics and those are part of the Akkadians who are also the fathers of the Babylonians. We know that because 75% of Arabic today is Akkadian then. So Arabs are a name for an older civilization. Syriac people were a tribe just as the rest of the tribes who were part of the Babylonian People.
Are there any mandolin players here? The similarities between the instruments are obvious, and I've been tempted to switch to the oud. I've played the mandolin for about five years now, but the strings still hurt my fingers like hell; are traditional oud strings gentler on the finger tips?
So beautiful

Well, it is clear so much of y our time is a waste and, yes, you are clueless. Do you want cheese with your whine? hahaha You view is so self-serving and uneducated. Please quit boring me with your pathetic whining.
Casisevillano 2 years ago
Your cluelessness is amusing. The Pals need to learn about being civil or pay the price. It only takes one Pals to be a terrorist and kill children intentionally like they have. When the Pals love their children more than they hate the Israelis, their lives will improve. Til then, they will pay a steep price they have earned.
I think you could use a working education and maturity. But you do continue to be amusing although pathetic.

كل الاحترام لك يا أستاذ سامر ..ولكن ألا تلاحظ أنك تعزف بأسلوب تعبيري ويفتقد للأسلوب التطريبي الذي يعطي العود طابعه الشرقي الخاص ؟؟حتى عندما استخدمت مقام الصبا ..لم نشعر بتلك الأحاسيس التي تتملكنا عند سماع الصبا !.فهل هذا في نظرك تجديد للأسلوب ؟مع الأسف هذا قتل لرونق العود ...

i am a ramallah man myself. it is hard to forgive the injustices done to us by the jews, the US, and the rest of the world. i bear no hate for any culture or religion, but those within them who choose to proclaim themselves better. Yes i feel it unfair that we pals lost our land to the jews, and how the U.S. supported it, but now slaughters and massacres are happening and it is time to stop. arabs are as much guilty for war crimes as much as the jews or americans. we share equal faults.

This music is beautiful. It truelly is a shame that people regardless of their background can not appreciate the beauty of other cultures. It is pure arrogence of westerners like us to look down upon Islamic cultures as barbaric and having nothing to offer the world but bloodshed and terrorists. Very similer to the attitude that the Roman Empire had towards any culture that had not yet been assimilated.Once humanity realises we are all dependant on one another for survival there may be peace.

It's funny how you skeak of education, and you actually think that the first time Palestine was created is when the romans expelled the jews. The romans renamed it Palestine as that's what it was called WAY BEFORE Abraham even existed. Who cares about then anyways, Zionists are a bunch of European terrorists that occupy a country in the name of lies and historical myths, and have established a fake Jewish nation on the basis of deception, descrimination and oppression. The gaza events are proof!

oh and also... there's a difference between an Arab and a violent Arab. Same as the difference between a Jew and a violent Jew.
You cut the bullshit. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. so... after we've cast all our stones, us Arabs and the Jews, maybe we can starting talking properly... on equal grounds

Israel is known through the world for what it truyl is - a neocolonial terrorist state. They are sewing the seeds for their destruction. Long live Palestine. Look at the spirit of the Gazans - calling out to their Lord in the midst of being massacred. You cannot defeat a people with such a spirit. 'And they planned and you planned, and God is the best of planners' (HQ). Long live Palestine - in solidarity with you from Sydney Australia.

this music is lovely, inspiring.I love middle eastern music, even for a atheist jew I still have the utmost respect to all cultures. I'm one of the minority who believes the various groups should share the holy land, since all of their religions come out of abraham,its a shame people have to be so close minded and embrace separatism..this has why religion has failed us all..from jew to muslim to christian..It holds up the walls between us all..

I think if the Arabs/Muslims stop attacking Israel, they can have peace. Until the attacks against Israel stop the Pals will get what they deserve. Until the Pals love their children enough to stop endangering them, their children will suffer. Why is it so few people complain about the dead Israelis but whine about how the Pals are treated? I support the Israelis but wish there could be peace. But with the Pals, peace is only a dream since they really don't want it.
Casisevillano 3 years ago
You are indeed ill-informed.. The Palestinians just want a home, a home stolen from them through the act of western powers and given to Israelis..they deserve the Holy Land just as much as the jews, just as much as the christians, they are people too after all, no matter their belief system. The first stage is the air assaults, bombing the Universities...mosques...etc...next is the ground offensive, where more and more will be massacred... We need to stop this now, inaction will solve nothing
dirmaster0 3 years ago
Thanks for your opinion. Yes, it could stop if the Pals would stop using terrorism but that is not likely due to their nature. I agree, the Pals should have a share but only when they stop the terrorism and are willing to share. I think Israel is agreeing with you, they seem to be taking some action. It is reflective of how you can ignore the deaths caused by the Pals but blame Israel.

:) I went to a western Unve and I got my Ph.D in history, so don't worry about that. Neteans were Arabs and they were in Syira and Palestine before Romans. Arabs are people who are part of the Aramics and those are part of the Akkadians who are also the fathers of the Babylonians. We know that because 75% of Arabic today is Akkadian then. So Arabs are a name for an older civilization. Syriac people were a tribe just as the rest of the tribes who were part of the Babylonian People.

Are there any mandolin players here? The similarities between the instruments are obvious, and I've been tempted to switch to the oud. I've played the mandolin for about five years now, but the strings still hurt my fingers like hell; are traditional oud strings gentler on the finger tips?
