Some time last year my mother-in-law gave me a CD of Moroccan oud music with the title “Awtare d’or” on the cover. The CD contains seven tracks:
- maquamat
- taquassim
- nagumate chaâbya
- atlassiyate
- ahazij
- awtar chaâbiya
- Mizane
But there is no indication of who the musicians are. It is a shame because this is really fantastic music. What is so nice about this CD is that it combines the traditional Arabic oud with Moroccan drums, making for a great, upbeat sound. I have put together this little video of the first track so I could share it with you. I hope you will enjoy.

THANKS – this is the CD we had as a background music in a small restaurant within the souk-area our last day in Marrakesh after a desert trip. No chance to get the CD that late in the evening at the FNA – but now, we have at least 10 minutes.
i agree.The oud player Saïd is fantastic. We bought the Cd in Essouira. I would also like to know more about his wonderful oud player and his back up
