Performing brilliantly on the Oud (the precursor of the lute, pipa and biwa) and the Tar (the ancient single-skinned drum of the upper Nile), along with haunting voice and spellbinding compositions, Hamza el Din combines the pleasures and subtleties of Arabic music with his indigenous music of his native Nubia. In his masterful hands, the oud has become a virtuoso instrument as well an accompaniment to his gentle and hypnotic singing. He has single handedly created a new music, essentially a Nubian-Arabic fusion, but one in line with both traditions and informed by Western conservatory training. His music has captured the interest of millions of listeners from Europe, Japan and North America.
