Here’s a tutorial on how to play “Zuruni kulli Sana Marra” on Oud with instructions for inverted Risha technique (Risha Maqlouba). This is a simplified version of the song which is meant as a tutorial for Oud students.
It includes the sheet music of the song itself.

هذا تمرين مبسّط للمبتدئين

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.

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)
