Blackbird of The Beatles on Oud – Oud Cover
Experimenting with Blackbird of Paul McCartney (credited Lennon-McCartney) on Oud, with the help of my daughter. The idea of this experiment was to try and adapt most of the guitar chords on the Oud.

This is our cover in Rock for Children’s Christmas Song Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Asturias (Leyenda) on Oud
Asturias (Leyenda) of Isaac Albéniz on Oud by Wassim Njeim.
Asturias is a very famous flamenco piece which was originally composed for Piano then later transcribed for Guitar.
Here I play it based on Farid El Atrache’s version on Oud. Farid, who himself was and still is a source of inspiration for many Oud players, adapted Asturias to the Oud and made it famous in the Arab world back in the 50’s.
Singing Quizás, Quizás, Quizás with my daughter
A home recording of Quizás with my 6 year-old daughter.
Quizás is an old cuban song by Osvaldo Farrés and initially performed by Bobby Capó.
The english version is Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps.
Andrea Bocelli recorded his cover of this song with Jennifer Lopez in 2013. We’re inspired by that version of the song. We’re singing it on the same scale as Bocelli (E minor) even though in the video it shows I’m playing it on D minor (It was actually transposed on the keyboard)
