"A Rhythmical Journey" With Hani Naser

Hani Naser - Multi-talented Hani Naser is a virtuoso percussionist and Oud player. Considered a master in his field, Naser inspired Randy Lewis of the Los Angeles Times to call him a “Veritable Rhythm Wizard”. The breadth of Naser's talent has earned him the opportunity to perform and record with many of the most influential artists of this era including Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Santana, Bill Kreutzmann & Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead), Don Henley, Ruben Blades, Fayrouz, Sabah, Abdul Wahab, Wadi El Safi, Samira Tawfik, and many other great musicians. Naser is at home in a multitude of musical styles and has a well deserved reputation as an expert improviser and prolific songwriter.

Nowhere is this better revealed than in his collaborations with rock legend David Lindley. During the duo’s seven years of touring the world, they produced what Paul Harrar of The Union calls, “One of the finest jam sessions in the music business”. Reviewing a concert featuring David Lindley and Hani Naser, Los Angeles Times music critic Randy Lewis writes: “David and Hani make a convincing case for the essence of musical forms and in the process they have produced an enduring testament to the timeless flexibility and resonance of the Middle Eastern, Flamenco, Rock n Roll, Jazz, and Blues forms.”

Naser was featured on Hamza El Din's last album “A Wish” which topped the World Music charts.

For Hani "Music doesn't have a perspective, or an opinion, it does not allow for that. Music only allows for the moment."
