Editorial Reviews
At 31, Omar Bashir, son of the renowned Iraqi composer and oud master Munir Bashir, is one of the most prolific Arab musicians today. With seven albums of varying styles to his credit, and an extensive history of live performances in Europe and the Middle East, Omar is a promising light in the future of Arabic music in general and the oud in particular.
Born in Baghdad in 1970 into a musical family (his father, grandfather and his uncle were musicians and oud players, Omar started his musical journey at an early age. At the age of seven he entered the School of Music and Ballet in Baghdad, and at nine he played his first oud solo, a 15-minute composition by his father. In 1986, after graduating from the School of Music and Ballet he joined the School of Music Studies. During this period, he performed in evening concerts, and shows at the end of the school year. Also during this period he led and managed Al Bayariq Group, which was considered one of the best classical Arabic ensembles at that time. After graduating in 1991, he left Baghdad to continue his studies at the Music Academy in Budapest, Hungary, where he also learned classical guitar, and Western music. Since his graduation from the university in Budapest in 1997, Omar performs internationally, alone and with other international musicians, and works on the production of his albums.
