In December, the Saudi artist Abadi Al-Johar, renowned as the Master of the Oud, returns to the National Theatre on 27 December after a long absence. With his oud in hand, he will perform a selection of his most beloved songs in the concert Abadi and His Oud, alongside the musical ensemble led by Maestro Amir Abdel-Megeed. A regular guest at the National Theatre, the Saudi singer meets his Kuwaiti audience annually during the Kuwait February Festival. His last performance at the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Cultural Centre, in February 2022, featured a repertoire of his most popular songs and exceptional oud solos.
Renowned for his melancholic voice and a playing style that bridges emotion and mastery on the oud, Abadi Al-Johar has composed numerous songs for prominent Arab artists, including Talal Maddah, Nagat Al-Saghira, Samira Said, and Assala Nasri. He has also performed lyrics by some of the region's most celebrated poets, such as Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prince Badr bin Abdulmohsen, Prince Abdulrahman bin Musaid, Fayeq Abduljalil, Talal Al-Rasheed, and many others.
