Abdullah Chhadeh is the Arab world’s most innovative qanun player. He was offered a scholarship to study composition at the Guildhall School of Music, where he refined his prodigious skill as a composer and started to introduce the qanun’s distinctive sound to new settings. Nara was formed in 2001; this ensemble combines Abdullah’s qanun with a variety of traditional and mainstream instruments: an ever evolving musical project based entirely on Chhadeh’s original compositions. Special guest the Tunisian singer M'Barek Ben Taleb.
