We open the Amphitheatre concerts this season with Egyptian oud player and singer Saad Al-Oud and his band on 20 and 21 November, presenting an open-air evening filled with some of the most beloved Egyptian songs. Saad Al-Oud began his musical journey performing in gatherings among family and friends, reminiscent of traditional Khaleeji jalsat (musical gatherings), but held instead in various coffee shops and restaurants. He called them, in Egyptian dialect, “Jalsa with Saad Al-Oud” — informal sessions where he played the oud and sang with the audience a wide selection of songs by iconic Arab singers, as well as popular ones by Egyptian film stars such as Mahmoud Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Zaki, and excerpts from well-known operettas like El-Layla El-Kebira (The Grand Night).
By 2018, these intimate gatherings had grown into large concerts attended by hundreds, then thousands, in Cairo and Alexandria. From there, the young oud player and his band expanded their reach across the Gulf, performing in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
