Riad Abdel-Gawad

El Tarab El Aseel

Classical Oriental | Egypt | 2006

Riad’s first album, ‘El Tarab el Aseel’, is infused with his deep knowledge of serial and avant-garde techniques and styles, while remaining steeped in the world of Arabic traditional music. The album’s pieces are mostly based on improvisations (the oriental “taqâsîm”, played in succession by the members of the “Takht”) of the main melodies. Riad Abdel-Gawad followed his Ph.D. in composition from Harvard with an apprenticeship as the spiritual son of Abdo Dagher, the famous oriental violinist and accompanier to the “Pearl of the Orient”, Oum Kalsoum.
