One of the true oud masters from Iraq, Rahim Alhaj blends contemporary musical concepts with traditional Iraqi melodies, expressing themes of loss, hope, freedom and longing. The oud is a pear-shaped instrument of ancient origin, often seen as a predecessor to the lute.
Alhaj has lived in New Mexico as a political refugee since 2000. In addition to performing in concerts worldwide, he has released several best-selling CDs and is featured on national radio shows and in movies. Alhaj says, “My music invites the listener to discover the true spirit of the musician.”
