Eric Stern Plays Farid al Atrache's Hebbina (Arabic Music Part 2, the Oud) فريد الأطرش - حبينا حبينا / Jukebox Radio episode 6

By ERIC STERN//  I play Hebbina, Hebbina by one of the luminaries of Egypt's Golden Age of Music--composer, oudist, singer Farid al Atrache. In this episode I delve further into the structure of Arabic Music and demonstrate the instrument that's the granddaddy of them all: THE OUD!

Hi there, my name is Eric Stern, and I tell stories with music. I've appeared on NPR and performed at the Kennedy Center,The Great American Music Hall, Joe’s Pub in NYC in San Francisco, throughout the Northwest, and internationally from Portland to Paris to Poland. But right now, I'll be appearing in your living room! No, don't get out your masks and hide the fridge! I just mean that I've got an exciting new Youtube series, Jukebox Radio, where I perform a song and then go deeper into the details. It's sort of a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making music. After experiencing many months of the Covid shut-down, with venues where I play unavailable, I decided that I still wanted to perform and would find a way! Well, through the science of video and audio I'm giving you a show straight from my garrett studio, every week. And I'm SO excited to have Oregon Music News cover this work! Now sit back, pour yourself a glass and enjoy!

I'd love to keep doing this. All the venues here in Portland Oregon are closed for now, but even if that weren't true it's time to ply my trade in the cybersphere!
