Born in Damascus and trained in the traditional Arabic as well as classical Western musical tradition. Abdullah Chhadeh has built his international career both as a soloist and composer. With his ensemble 'Nara' he has developed an original sound that blends the unmistakably Arabic qanun with jazzy double bass, darbuka and Oriental accordion. The result is an enticing melange of evocative melodies and dense rhythms, true to the lucid style of classical Arabic music, yet laced with surprising twists and original textures.
