Music: Munir and Omar Bashir - Maqam Rast - Aoud music - Arabic scale of Rast

This clip shows Iraqi Oud master Munir Bashir (1930-1997)and his son Omar Bashir playing in the Arabic scale of Rast. Munir Bashir had a doctorate in musicology from Budapest, and was in constant rebellion against the misinterpretation of this music and it's use for commercial ends. He has been credited with restoring credentials to a music that has become debased through bending to the tasters of colonial nostalgia.
