Munir BashirMunir Bashir the King Of Oud (1930 – September 28, 1997) was an Iraqi musician and one of the most famous musicians in the
Middle East during the 20th century and was considered to be the supreme master of the Arab maqamat scale system.
He created different styles of the Arabian short scaled lute, the oud. He was one of the first middle eastern
instrumentalists known to Europe and America. Bashir’s music is distinguished by a novel style of improvisation
that reflects his study of Indian and European tonal art in addition to oriental forms. Born in Iraq, he had to
deal with numerous disruptions of violent coup attempts and multiple wars that the country went through.
He would eventually exile to Europe and become noticeable first in eastern nations such as Hungary and Bulgaria.
