@Amrfaham , your right ,he is syrian currently living in the united states in california , in this video he is playing at the UCSB with the KAN ZAMAN ensemble in southern california (to the best of my knowledge he doesn't perform with them any more ), seen here playing a sabsabi oud . longa music is turkish music but this one is written by master composer riadh sunbati. if any one has a correction or addition please let me know.
Fantastic musicianship. I would like to know whether the piece is wholly or partly improvised. It is interesting that it looks like a "classical" music setting but the music really rocks!
Moorish guitar is not Spanish guitar. Two different instruments. The Spanish guitar was given its (superior) shape and form by Antonio de Torres Jurado, a white Spaniard. Of course you can trace back influence to the sitar and tanbur, but that's not the point. Those are different instruments. Just like the oud is a different instrument.
sounds like he just focuses on speed as opposed to actually making something sound beautiful. Hes good and I do like what I hear so far but this Oud "shit" still seems to sound better in my ears.
This longa has nothing to do with the great RIAD AlSUMBATI,open your ears and let your feeling guide you,give the guy a break ,he is using techniques of oud playing,i heard harmonic notes which is not easy to play on a frettless instrument if you have no technique no ear and no feel.my name is Mostafa Chebani,profesional oud player,singer and composer,AFif good job ,keep up,i hope you got better,play with feel not acrobatic techniques only,then you will hear the difference,good luck to you
@akrivosdiavolos73 sorry friend but greeks are stealing many thing from Turks. Oud is a completely Turkish instrument. İn middle asia there were an isntrument called kopuz.. And oud comes from it.

هذا العازف ذكي يعرف قرارات العود بكل الاكتاف
Just perfect! Love your performance! Wish I could play a longa like you! You are a real oud maestro! Thanks!
Look for Fauziah Gambus.... a very talented girl playing the oud from Brunei Darussalam
No, he is playing "kürdilihicazkar longa" composed by Kemani Sebuh, but he is starting improvising around 2:15..
The title of the piece is "kürdilihicazkar longa" composed by Kemani Sebuh.
عزف خطير

@ArdRiNaMi lounga shehnaz - riadh sunbati
no words
If that is a written chart that is truly amazing.
Wow!
هنيئا
هناك تقنية في اليمنى و اليسرى..
بصراحة حركة أصابع اليسرى تشبه حركة أصابع ملك العود فريد.. عشرة على عشرة.. ممتاز.
فريد ماذا هذا تجاوز فريد بمراحل. فريد كان في البداية أما الان فاكثر العازفين المشهورين تجاوزوه.
ما اسم المقطوعة
And Madeline Albright is to his left.
Bravo!
Hahaahhahaha Gorby digs oud!

دوووووووووووس والله عزف ع البيبان

I doubt it gets better than that.
@TheRantingBrit There is a big difference in music choice between AC/DC and this guy -________- ..
What's the name of this longa?
he have an arabic bakground but this song is wroted by a turkish compositor
Just the first 2 minutes. The rest is truly his.
welcome ;)
not so traditional but amazing
@ManWithStick1313 his finger?
His wrist position looks so awkward... probably just because I play guitar though. He's crazy fast!
Mr.Afif Taian is from Syria and Syria is an arab country. Therefore, he is arab not turkish
cheers
longa spough

i belive you. But how the fuck do you know that? haha
pssst...he is very good...his speed is very good..he he he he..but its not as fast as a bouzouki.....look up Giannaros Paleologou..
@akrivosdiavolos73 sorry friend but greeks are stealing many thing from Turks. Oud is a completely Turkish instrument. İn middle asia there were an isntrument called kopuz.. And oud comes from it.
Oud is an Arabic instrument moved to the asatanah in Turky during the Ottoman occupation of the Arab world.
