The Music of Syria - Jalal Joubi and Ensemble - CD

Jalal Joubi and Ensemble present the rich historical music of Syria. They perform the traditional Muwashahat and Qudud Halabiyya styles with a full ensemble of oud, violin, kawala, riqq, and tabla. The pieces they present range from traditional Andalusian compositions from the middle-ages through the 19th century. These performances represent true Arabic music roots, and are essential for understanding this profound musical culture.
