The Desert Oud of Hamza El Din
Hamza El Din is considered by many to be the greatest living oud player today. Born in Nubia in the country of Sudan, El Din held a promising career as an engineer in Egypt before taking up the oud in the early 1960s. He began collecting folk songs regionally before studying music formally in Italy. In 1964 he made his American debut at the Newport Folk Festival and later lived for several years in San Francisco--creating beautiful desert music with his oud and finding friends in such artists as the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, Kronos Quartet cellist Joan Jeanrenaud, and pianist W.A. Mathieu. El Din's latest album, A Wish, offers lovely collaborations inspired by his home village of Troshka and the region of Nubia.

Amazon.com: With A Wish you've said you wanted to preserve the culture of your homeland through song. Do you feel you've fulfilled your wish with this album?
Hamza El Din: I began my musical career wishing to preserve the Nubian culture. The experience of living in many different countries has, over time, broadened and changed my direction. As an artist I use music to express myself and compose songs not only for Nubia but also for my belief and all that I love and value. Of course, I think of my home like other people living away from their homeland, and so this new CD, A Wish, is dedicated to my old village. But I don't think that any one person's effort can preserve an entire culture.
Amazon.com: At an earlier time in your life you traveled throughout Egypt on a donkey collecting Nubian songs. What was that experience like?
El Din: It was a most interesting and educational time in my life. I was a kind of ethnomusicologist without knowing it. I began with the observation that a lullaby among us, sung by two women, mothers, possibly even sisters, sounds different even though the lyrics were the same. That observation opened the door for me to travel extensively all over Nubia in Egypt and Sudan to meet people and observe our culture in a kind of personal fieldwork. What I found was overwhelmingly informative with regard to our musical heritage, and what I gained was the indescribable joy of discovering a hidden treasure.
Amazon.com: You've said that at a certain point you felt your oud had finally attained the Nubian accent. What is the Nubian accent of the oud?
El Din: The oud music from the Middle East, Iran, Asia Minor, and the Balkans is all built on a system of tetrachords, groups of four consecutive notes common to different but related maqams, or musical scales. The music moves from one scale to another in the same composition, transitioning by means of shared tetrachords. However, the tonality of the oud music from different areas varies, and in my mind, my oud sounds like what I would call the "desert oud." It is like a piece of Bach's music, performed by German, French, Korean, and Egyptian cellists, each educated only in his own country, each with his own uniquely different accent.
Amazon.com: You've lived in America for much of your adult life. Has any sort of Western music influenced your songwriting?
El Din: I can't say that I have been influenced by Western music as a whole because of the difference of its tonality, structure, and philosophy from what I grew up with and learned with the oud, even though I studied Western music in Italy. However, some influences are no doubt present, like making harmony when I play with other musicians. And I enjoy listening to classical, jazz, and other music very much.
Amazon.com: You played the Newport Folk Festival in 1964. What was that experience like for a young Nubian musician from Africa?
El Din: Wow! I never saw such a large number of #########, counted by the tens of thousands, from the stage. Ordinarily, when I perform I close my eyes. In the middle of that performance, I felt that the audience must have either left or fallen asleep, they were so quiet, and so different from a Middle Eastern audience. But when I finished playing, applause erupted and I felt the warm appreciation for my art. I left the stage thanking God for my success and for showing me a new audience and how they listen to music. I saw many people working backstage, so many different types, reminding me that this is America, the country of diversity of people and culture. I felt America had such an extraordinary capacity to accept and appreciate other cultures, more than any other country.
Amazon.com: How did your friendship with the Grateful Dead come about?
El Din: Mickey Hart was the producer of my album, Eclipse, recorded in 1976, and through him I met the Grateful Dead family, the whole band, crew, and management. I found in them a quality of friendliness that made me encourage them to visit Egypt. We played in front of the Great Pyramid at Giza at the foot of the Sphinx in 1979 at the same time that Sadat and Begin were signing a peace agreement at Camp David. I have kept their friendship until now and they are all very warm whenever we meet. I still share the stage with Mickey on occasion.
Amazon.com: Your song "Gala 2000" apologizes to the earth for mistreating it. How do you think we have mistreated the earth?
El Din: For centuries we had been so engaged in technological development that we had forgotten to think about the earth we were exploiting. Maybe it is too late to get back the old beautiful earth despite our efforts. The song was written as an apology to the earth for this reason. I believe that the earth is not ours, we are just lent this earth from our ancestors for our future generations.
