I had never heard of Lebanese oud player Rabih Abou-Khalil before I watched the latest episode of Radio Vinyle. As an amateur of Arabic music, and far from being a specialist, I was intrigued by the man, his art and influences. The video offered me an opening on Mr. Abou-Khalil's music.
Spinning jazz, rock, classical with equal enthusiasm, it's refreshing to watch and listen to such a smiling musician. French-speaking only.
To extend the pleasure, and to know more about Rabih Abou-Khalil, here's a nice video of a concert he gave in 1990, his discography and his biography.
