Shamma, world renowned on oud, is scheduled for two concerts at El-Sawy Culturewheel in Zamalek
Renowned Iraqi oud player Naseer Shamma is scheduled to give two concerts at El-Sawy Culturewheel, on 29 February and 1 March.
The 29 February concert marks the 13th anniversary of the birth of El-Sawy Culturewheel, an important platform for young musicians.
Shamma has been a regular performer at El-Sawy Culturewheel since its inception in 2003.
Shamma is most celebrated for giving the traditional string instrument a more contemporary sound.
Shamma establishedBeit Al-Oud Al-Arabi(The Arabic Oud House) to teach people how to play what he calls the "grandfather" of stringed instruments.
He has introduced the oud to dozens of young musicians, with many of them describing Shamma as a "free spirit" and innovative, open and "forceful artist."
