Combo La Oud - The Combo La Oud

Review by Linda Lord

The Combo La Oud, a band from Lebanon, has recently released their self-titled album, "The Combo La Oud." This album is a fusion of Middle Eastern and Western music, featuring traditional instruments such as the oud, qanun, and darbuka, mixed with electric guitar and bass.

The album consists of eight tracks, each with its unique sound and style. The opening track, "Ya Ghali," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. The second track, "Raksat El Aroussa," features a traditional Arabic wedding dance, and the band's fusion of instruments and styles gives the song a modern twist.

The third track, "Mawal," features a beautiful vocal performance that perfectly complements the instrumentation. The fourth track, "Nassam Alayna El Hawa," is a classic Arabic song that has been reimagined by the band in a unique and fresh way.

The album continues with "Bint El Balad," "Ya Rayah," "Lailet El Eid," and "Lamma Bada Yatathanna," all of which showcase the band's musical talent and creativity. The album's production is excellent, with each instrument and voice perfectly balanced and mixed.

Summary by Linda Lord

"The Combo La Oud" by Combo La Oud is an excellent album that successfully blends Middle Eastern and Western music. It is a must-listen for fans of world music and those looking for something new and exciting.
