RIMA- Oud Duo

Rima Oud Duo, the only oud duo in Greece, was created in 2013 by oud players Christos Syngelos and Stavros Papakyritsis, with the regular participation of two musicians in percussion and Cretan lyra. Until now, they have presented their work in Athens and around Greece, while recently their first CD was launched. The two Greek musicians, experimenting on and studying the sound of an instrument embodying a vast music civilization, redefine its technical capabilities, constantly adding new elements, which result in the individual and creative sound of Rima Oud Duo - an oriental sound in its natural environment in the midst of East and West. Their live concerts unfold musical pieces built on firm and specific rhythmical and melodic foundations that are enriched by a vibrant element of improvisation and create a dynamic sound landscape.
