Joseph Tawadros - History Has A Heartbeat (2022)

‘History has a Heartbeat’ Joseph Tawadros (Oud) and Yidaki (Didj) master William Barton bring two ancient cultures together in a unique collaboration alongside other superb musicians - Leonard Grigoryan, James Tawadros and Sam Golding.This first-time combination of Arabic Egyptian Oud and Indigenous Australian Yidaki is a truly unique collaboration. These ancient instruments join forces in an unlikely and dynamic pairing creating a new authentic voice in Australian music."I’m recording my oud with amazing musicians - William Barton (Yidaki), Leonard Grigoryan (classical and 12 string guitar), Sam Golding (trumpet and flugelhorn), and James Tawardors (riqq, tar, bendir) at Church Street Studios and Free Energy Device in Sydney. We’re drawing from traditional and ancient music but setting it firmly in the contemporary realm."
