Assala remembers father's oud at 100
Artist Assala has retrieved her late father Mustafa Nasri's oud, which he passed away with in 1984, ahead of her first concert in Damascus after more than 15 years of absence. The oud, over 100 years old and crafted by artisan Tawfiq Al-Nahhat, was discovered years ago and confirmed to belong to her family. It was then handed over to Assala just before her scheduled performance on September 17 at the Al-Fayhaa Hall in Damascus. This comes as part of her return to the Syrian music scene, where she has begun rehearsals with the band and preparations for her new album inspired by Syrian heritage. The album features 14 songs representing various regions of Syria. Her father’s oud is considered a special family symbol and a significant part of her celebration of returning to the stage after a long hiatus, with an emphasis on performing patriotic and traditional Syrian works for the first time on stage.
