Abaji is a Lebanese-born multi-instrumentalist and singer-
songwriter. His work spans many cultures and languages.
With roots in Greece, Turkey, Armenia and France, he’s at home strumming a twangy bouzouki, blowing into a
breathy duduk or bowing a soft-toned kamancheh. Abaji’s passion for instruments – and he has more than 250 -stems from his deep desire to take the sounds he began to hear as a young man and turn them into uniquely vibrant, uniquely personal music. In his latest album, Origine Orients, he played 10 different instruments, many of them simultaneously, with no second takes or overdubs. He
will be performing in Hyderabad on Sunday 26th, a treat for music lovers.
