My Playlist is getting polluted so Iโm gonna start posting the good ones here
Great oud solo in the first song, second half was awesome. Kid at the end is really feeling it lol
Also the drummer a few minutes in just on his phone is great.

This oneโs vibes
Theyโre pushing 180bpm by the end jeez
nice 1โฆ
The first 5 and a half minutes of this one is such a vibe. The violin after is a different song maybe, Iโm not sure.
Different group this time lol. Been posting all the same one mostly
I love the violin drone during the oud solo a few minutes in. The violin solo is beautiful, really haunting melody. I wonder what scale this is. Also the oud comping is pretty great.
Also Iโm pretty sure these arenโt โsolosโ, but are called โtaqsimโ and are more like an intro to the next song.
Second song does a great job showcasing the cross rhythm, with the chorus leaning heavy on the 2 down beats, so itโs hard to feel the 3, while during the verses itโs easier to feel the 3.
Great trance section at the end as always

Cha3bi rhyme with Habibi!

Wasnโt a huge fan of the first song on this one, but the oud solo is absolutely vibing. Super bluesy feel to it. Then they pull out the electric guitar and the crowd goes nuts lol
Starts at 7:46
They uploaded just the solos
Aw shit itโs just the oud solo. Definitely worth a listen, itโs such a vibe
Damn I guess one of the chaabi channels got a YouTube partnership or whatever award
Great instrumental chaabi.
I know the singing can be a bit hard to get into so this is pretty chill.
I canโt get over the trance sections at the ends of these performances. Some of them last 10+ minutes. They play crazy fast (upwards of 180bpm), and will sometimes chant various phrases the whole time.
Plus the crowd claps along, with some really crazy patterns.

Thereโs been a break in the chaabi content (Iโm guessing Ramadan?), first upload in awhile is pretty solid
Hereโs a really good explanation of the chaabi beat, donโt think Iโve posted it before

Jeeeeez I think this is the vibiest one Iโve heard in awhile. Massive
This dudeโs been pumping out cha3bi style beats, some of them are pretty good. I like what he does with the drums in a lot of them, Iโm gonna have to mess around with some of his ideas
This is the best one in awhile. Good quality, intro is vibing.
@lloydnoise if itโs not too much trouble, would you be able to tell me what the lyrics are about? They start singing around 9 mins
I love this shit lol
Its still crazy how long they play those trance sections. It must be exhausting.
I was chatting with this Iraqi dude at a Mediterranean restaurant (he was the owners nephew i guess). Turns out he makes Oudโs, which was pretty fuckin crazy. He recommended a ton of Iraqi oud music.
@Paralytik you might kinda dig this. Itโs basically just an improvisation
Maqam Nahawand is basically minor. Then thereโs sections of other maqamat listed in the description as he goes through them. Really beautiful playing.

This oneโs great
Much more straight forward rhythm, too. Not really cha3bi. The second song โ end section is a great vibe
This is still my favorite performance by far. The taqsim at the beginning is just beautiful and brings a smile to my face. Everyone in there is just vibing out.
This dude playing air-oud having the time of his life.
Iโm working on a transcription of this one. Iโve got a few bars done, but it really pales in comparison. Iโll post it once Iโve got at least something worth listening to.
