Rabih Abou-Khalil

My wife and I are at this very moment listening to a concert of oud player Rabih Abou-Khalil and the Ensemble Modern, also featuring tuba player Michel Godard, on the radio. In case you don't know the Ensemble Modern: They recorded "The Yellow Shark" with Frank Zappa. An excellent concert so far. And the announcements of Rabih Abou-Khalil, who speaks flawless German without any accent, are simply hilarious. That man has a really weird humor; we have heard other concerts with him before.

The pause between two of the musical acts is being filled with music from other concerts the radio station broadcasted before. At the moment a concert with the band of Barbara Buchholz, who is one of the few theremin players in the world.
