CAIRO – 30 March 2021: Al-Nahr Hall in El-Sawy Culture Wheel will host a concert for the oud duo, Ghassan Al-Youssef and Dina Abdel-Hamid, on March 30 at 7:30 p.m.

 

 

The duo will present a new oud composition entitled "Life", composed by Dina Abdel Hamid. This is in addition to presenting the music masterpieces of legendary singers Umm Kulthum, Fayrouz, Mohammed Abdel Wahab and Farid al-Atrash, in addition to a group of Egyptian and Syrian traditional music pieces.

 

 

The duo are known for playing the "finger and string" technique, which is the way someone's fingers play on the neck of the Oud (lute) and the other person strikes the strings with a feather on the same oud.

 

 

It is noteworthy that the duo Ghassan and Dina is the first Arab duo playing oud. They studied the oud and graduated from the Arab Oud House. They participated in many international music festivals, including the Oud Festival in Tetouan, Morocco.

 

 

They held many concerts in a number of cultural places in Egypt and abroad.
