Ahmed Mukhtar on oud and Ignacio Lusardi Monteverde on flamenco guitar demonstrate explore the entwined musical traditions of their two cultures. 'Basra' recalls the grand Moorish architecture of Granada. Ahmed composed Basra, which honours the daily life and rich musical heritage of Iraq’s southernmost city.
'Basra' releases as a digital single on 15th August 2025. This track is taken from the forthcoming album 'Al-hambra' releasing 22nd August 2025, on ARC Music.
'Basra' is composed in the Heywa rhythm, a regional 6/8 groove that reflects Basra’s distinct musical character. The melody follows maqām Hijaz, a deeply expressive maqām often associated with longing and nostalgia. While many oud compositions primarily stay within the instrument’s lower register, this piece makes use of its full range. By using higher octaves, the composition not only expands the instrument’s expressive possibilities but also enhances its interplay with the guitar, allowing both instruments to complement each other in the upper registers.
About the album 'Al-hambra':
Ahmed Mukhtar on oud and Ignacio Lusardi Monteverde on flamenco guitar demonstrate explore the entwined musical traditions of their two cultures. The compositions unfold as an elegant dialogue between the two instruments, weaving intricate melodies and rhythmic subtleties that echo centuries of cultural exchange. Through Al-hambra, they create a space where the voices of the oud and guitar converse as equals, bridging time and tradition with a grace that feels both timeless and innovative.
