Ahmad Al Khatib

Ahmad Al Khatib is a distinguished oud player and composer, recognized for his virtuosic skill and deep dedication to the art of Arabic music. Born into a Palestinian family, Al Khatib started learning music at a young age and subsequently honed his craft in Jordan before moving to Sweden, where he has been based for many years. His journey as a musician has been one of both preserving the rich traditions of his cultural heritage and pushing its boundaries through creative and innovative compositions.

His works are a testament to the intertwining of cultural roots and contemporary musical dialogue. With "Melodic Melange," Al Khatib offers an exquisite fusion of musical traditions, blending sounds from the Middle East with diverse global melodies and rhythms to create a unique listening experience. The album "Sabîl," named after his duo with percussionist Youssef Hbeisch, showcases his commitment to the classical and contemporary music of the Arab world, anchored in a profound exploration of its possibilities. "Sada," meaning 'echo' in Arabic, is another remarkable project that illustrates Al Khatib's mastery of his instrument, the oud, as well as his ability to echo the sentiments and aesthetic sensibilities ingrained in Arabic musical forms. Through his compositions and performances, Ahmad Al Khatib continues to be a vital figure in the promotion and evolution of Arabic music on the international stage.
