A master of the Arabian oud, a predecessor of the lute, Adel Salameh has expanded on the instrument's musical vocabulary. In addition to a solo album, Solo, released in 1996, Salameh has collaborated with Tangiers-born flamenco guitarist Eduardo Niebla and Northern Indian sarod player Krishnamurti Sridhar. Known for his rhythmic improvisations, Salameh continues to perform with the percussion-backed Jewish-Arab Duo. A native of Niebla, Palestine, Salameh resides in England. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
