Man with Oud, Wadi Rum, Jordan.
This dude joined us and played some songs on the Oud - an arabic instrument, notably very similar to a western lute. I love the sound these things make and very much enoyed the show. Afterwards I got to try it and noted that it of course wasn´t tuned to fit my western ears. But still, it was fun to pluck away and the owner told our interpreter that he was pretty impressed with the way I handled it since I hadn´t touched one before. Nice.
