Oud Prodigy: Mohamed Abozekry & Heejaz with "Sérague"

Today's tune is by Mohamed Abozekry & Heejaz, a quartet of French and Egyptian musicians formed in 2010 that focuses on instrumental music. Led by oud prodigy Mohamed Abozekry, who at age 15 became the youngest professor of the oud in the Arabic world, the seeds of the band formed when he met French artist Guillaume Hogan at a concert in Cairo, where Abozekry was persuaded to continue his musical studies at the University of Lyon. It was there that Abozekry met the other musicians that would form Heejaz. This song, Sérague, can be found on their 2015 album Ring Road.
