as im beginning to learn on my turkish oud mr. shaheen has been one of my favorites to listen too a magnificent artist with a truly amazing command of this ancient and beautiful instrument
@@Sam-gn6og I don't see how this is relevant and how it would change the fact that it's an amazing instrument?! Either it was developed by the Arabs or Turks or the people of Mesopotamia. Why you think this is important to mention, especially in this context. I just don't get it!
at 7:56 the textural quality of the Oud, and Simon's impeccable technique, permits an almost percursive quality to the back melody, you can almost hear the Flamenco castanets and claps, which is very fitting for a song inspired by the city of Qantara. Genius composition and playing.
@@2021kyoto Yes, but only partially true! The dance mostly. Flamenco is an amalgamation of several cultures that made it's home in southern spain, including, and very evidently so, arabs! I recommend this video if you're interested and haven't watched, it's as deep as a 10min video can be but it's very good ruclips.net/video/XYgTkW4WK80/видео.html
The album was called "Dance Mediterranea" here is the long live version, superb solo with ney=flute ruclips.net/video/wpAT94SGNtI/видео.html. it'll make your day if u never listened to it ;)
I wouldnt say the best of all time or the current time my vote goes to another great master oud player... but Simmon Shaheen has defiantly helped middle eastern music and especially the Oud to grow in North America I wish him all the best his work is the greatest in North America and hope he goes on and makes greater things I am a great supporter for these great musicians anywhere they are.
@@deathhunter6628 no such thing as best oud player or musician, this is not a competition but an art.... I respect and admire any great musician when he carries his work to the future and help others
This man cannot say Israel.He uses Palistine which is the name of Israel,Judea,and Sumaria given by the ancient Greeks,and revived by the Romans in the 2nd century..

There is no such things as Turkish Oud, Oud as is known today was developed by the Arabs in Andalusia during the Golden Muslim Spain

@@Sam-gn6og Turkish Oud as in Turkish style, because no matter how much Arab Nationalism you sink into it Turks have their own style on the Oud.
@@Sam-gn6og Educate yourself. The same musical instrument can vary slightly from country to country.

Flamenco was introduced by the Gypcies,from Northern India!

@@ivyssauro123 What you say is true,but Flamenco was originally from the Gypcies from Northern India,please do the research!!!
Amazing Simone
Beautiful- Simon Shaheen is a maestro. Mubrook.
Master!
that was amazing I have to say I liked the Lebanese part at the end the most and wished he would have kept going. anyone have the full version of his?
The song is called "Jayebli Salam" by Fairouz, but I don't know if he has another recording of it.

@@yacir thank you both very much

هل ذكرو شي عن العود سواء اسم الصانع او اي معلومات عن العود بشكل عام !!
هذا العود صناعة توفيق نحات سنة ١٩٢٤ اخو الاستاذ سيمون ذكر المعلومات في احد الفيديوهات
راح تيجي ميرووووووو جاسر الدلوعة عليها السلام ملاك رام ألله الهولي الفلستيني العبقرية ملكة جمال الكون بنتها لربنا الاعليا والاعزمة والافخمة فيلسوفة الغبرة الميتافيزقية النرجسية والبراغماتية
Please do not forget IRAQ when speaking about Oud!!
He mentioned Persia
